Subject: TAB: April Come She Will (Simon & Garfunkel)
Here's the TAB for Simon & Garfukel's "April Come She Will". Play the
section between the double bars and "o"s three times through, these marks are
supposed to look like the symbol to repeat. However, when you get to the final
four measures the third time, skip the ones marked "\\1,2\\" and continue on to
"\\3\\". To match the recording, try using a capo at the first or second
fret, I can't recall which. The chord shapes are all actually fairly basic,
use:
G/D (xx0787), G6/D (xx0780), D (xx0775), G (3x0003), C/G (3x2013), Am
(x02210), Emadd4/G (3x220x), Fmaj7 (1x221x) (for this one use either your thumb
or barre an Am shaped chord to get the bottom note), Em (022000), C (x3201x)
and Dadd4 (x5403x).

June, she'll change her tune.
In restless walks she'll prowl the night.
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight.
August, die she must.
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold.
September, I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old.
