Artist: Paul Simon
Song: Cecilia - live solo version
Tabbed by: DJ
20th Mar 2014

This tab is based on the live solo versions
where Paul Simon adds an intro,
and plays descending bass notes. 

C   = x32010  G   =  320003   G/F# = 2xxxxx
C/B = x2xxxx  D   =  xx0232   G/E  = 0xxxxx
C/A = x0xx1x  C/G =  3x2013

[N.B. For the Simon & Garfunkel album version,
use a Capo at 4th fret, and then tune up slightly sharp
to match the recording. Miss out the intro,
and the descending bass notes.]
