This is my version of this wonderfully gorgeous song since I donÃ•t like the version in the guitar book.  I think itÃ•s more accurate to what the artist is really playing, so tell me what YOU think.


KathyÃ•s Song (as heard on Ã’Greatest HitsÃ“)

After the second and fourth verses he does this Dsus thing:

And then right back to the filler/intro lick.




(Back to Dsus)



(Really cool guitar solo verse, which I may tab later...)

Note:  At the end of the third line of each verse, there is a walkup from G to C that Paul Simon loves to do (Homeward Bound, Boxer, etc...) and he alternates from the single note walk I put in the tab at that spot and a more common (and cooler) walkup:

E ----------------|0---------------|----------------|----------------|  
B ----0---1---3---|----------1-----|----------------|----------------|

Ah, sweet poetry... Love and beauty to all,

Kathy's Song

Words/Music by Paul Simon
Tablature by Frederik Esser

This tab is developed from the one by John Nimis. I don't claim it to be
better, but it's certainly a lot closer to the recorded version (on sound of
silence).
