Paul Frederic Simon (born October 13, 1941 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. 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

This is one of the first songs I ever learned, it is quite beautiful. This is a post of how I remember figuring it out about seven years ago. I am not sure if all the lyrics are correct. It is arranged for a nylon string acoustic guitar playing mostly open cords.
