--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes - Paul Simon --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Paul Simon Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes (1986) (Paul Simon, Intro: Paul Simon/Joseph Shabalala) From: "Graceland" The a capella intro is in E, the song in F. I suggest using a capo 3rd fret and play D (C# for the intro). That way it is easy to play the licks between the vocal lines. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the main turnaround.
