This is my version of this wonderfully gorgeous song since I don't like the 
version in the guitar book.  I think it's more accurate to what the artist 
is really playing, so tell me what YOU think.


Kathy's Song (as heard on "Greatest Hits")

And then right back to the filler/intro lick.

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:

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).

Intro:
