Song: Cecilia - live solo version
Artist: Paul Simon
Composer: Paul Simon
Tabbed by: DJ
20th Mar 2014
This tab is based on the live solo versions where Paul
Simon adds an intro, and plays descending bass notes.
C = x32010 G = 320003 G/F# = 2xxxxx
C/B = x2xxxx D = xx0232 G/E = 0xxxxx
C/A = x0xx1x C/G = 3x2013
[N.B. For the Simon & Garfunkel album version, use a
Capo at the 4th fret, and then tune up slightly sharp
to match the recording. Miss out the intro, and also
the descending bass notes.]
