----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADIOS HERMANOS - Paul Simon ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: CherryKim, August 19, 2011 This great song is off the Paul Simon album "Songs From The Capeman" and is mostly sung a capella, but I transcribed the background singers' music and the organ for guitar. Listen to the record for timing.
