He first gained world-wide recognition as the writing talent behind the popular American folk-rock duo Simon & Garfunkel formed with fellow musician Art Garfunkel. When Simon & Garfunkel split in 1970, Simon quickly began his solo career with the release of the self-titled album, Paul Simon. This was followed by There Goes Rhymin' Simon and Still Crazy After All These Years

In a couple of days they come and take me away But the press let the story leak And when the radical priest come and get me released We's all on the cover of Newsweek.
And I'm on my way, I don't know where I'm going I'm on my way, takin' my time but I don't know where Goodbye to Rosie, Queen of Corona See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard See you, me, and Julio down by the schoolyard
Note: intro pattern can be played using a D6 instead of D. If so, play the intro as follows.
A = |x07655| D6= |xx7777| E = |xxx454|
This song also works well if one guitar plays in A as described and the other capos 2 and plays in G.
