/ Simon & Garfunkel / Sounds of Silence (1966) / Leaves That Are Green guitar tab

Subject: TAB: Leaves That Are Green - Simon & Gar


This is an attempt to capture as much of the instrumentation as possible
into a tab.  Which means that it sounds good by itself, but is not easy to
play.  Too bad.


Leaves That Are Green  - Simon & Garfunkel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>From "Sound of Silence".
Transcribed and arranged by John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz).

Capo 2nd fret.
4/4 time.
