"For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" by Simon and Garfunkel Capo on 3rd Fret. Standard tuning. Originally played on a 12 string in standard tuning (four low string pairs an octave apart, two high pairs as drones...). Also, pay more attention to which strings you need to hit rather than completing chord shapes for something like Dadd9sus4. Paul Simon subscribes to the "Only fret what you need" theory very strongly. This song is a good example of that. This, as I pointed out, will sound good but different on a 6-string. When played on a 12-string, the 3rd pair of strings (G open) becomes the highest note and creates an unusual sound. Still, it is worth learning since the fingering is the same for both. The chords are listed at the end of the file.

To play it just strum at the appropriate times and on the appropriate strings (high if it's high, low if its low, etc...)

I wanted to throw my two cents in, but couldn't find the time until now. When I learned the song, I didn't know about 12 strings, so I came up with a way to make the intro sound right on a six string. Keep your ring finger on the B string 5th fret and your middle finger on the E string 3rd fret at all times. Then you only have to move the pinky on and off the E string 5th fret and the index finger on and off the G string 2nd fret. The thumb picks the D and G string notes. Great tune!
