Ok, heres a tab I have had floating around on my computer for ages. The
reason I haven't sent it in before is that I am not really sure whether I
have got the bridge section right. So any comments or improvements are more
than welcome.
Rene and Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After the War - Paul Simon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From "Hearts and Bones".
Transcribed and tabbed by John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz).
Thanks to Jared White for help with the 4/4 bar.
Note: this is not exactly what Paul plays, but it sounds not too bad.
Lyrics are not exactly lined up with where they are to be sung.
6/8 time (mostly).
