Intro/Verses

This song sounds better when its chords are strummed by using your thummb and forefinger.

Right before the chorus begins, strum the twelfth fret harmonics to give the song a 
smooth transition

It would go as follows

Chorus:

Chorus contains three chords, G, Bb, and C.  Each chord is strummed for a measure in 
standard 4/4 count.

Here's how the chords would match up with the lyrics.

G5
You Just slip out the back, Jack

Bb5
Make a new plan, Stan

   C5
You don't need to be coy, Roy

     G5
Just get yourself free

G5
Hop on the bus, Gus

    Bb5
You don't need to discuss much

     C5
Just drop off the key, Lee

    G5
And get yourself free

And that is how you play Paul Simon's 1975 song, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
