Still Crazy After All These Years
by Paul Simon
Tabbed by BaddGuitar
Here's a "simplified" version of this jazz classic. This song has
some crazy chord progressions. I've tried to capture the overall
tone without impossible chords.
A video of THIS tab being played:

Here's some footage of Paul Simon playing this song on the
guitar in the key of D while he was still working on it:

He eventually brought it up to the key of G and it
was played on a keyboard. All chords and a few riffs
are listed at the bottom. I left out the Sax solo.
Please purchase the track to get the timing.
