The best-known recording of this song is the Art Garfunkel version; this tab is
transcribed from a combination of the acoustic version Jimmy Webb recorded with
Linda Ronstadt and the Five for Fighting version from the "Chicken Little"
soundtrack.
A couple things:
1. Watch out for the third verse -- the chords are slightly different than the first two.
2. YMMV, but I think the bridge sounds best using the following chord variations:
G Bm7 Cmaj7 D7sus4 D Gadd9 G/D B7/D# Em Am7 Am7/D
e| 3 7 3 5 5 5 3 5 7 5 5
B| 0 7 5 8 7 3 3 4 8 5 5
G| 0 7 4 5 7 4 4 4 9 5 5
