All the tablature on this site is privately owned by the webmaster except where stated and is made available to the internet community for personal research and educational purposes only. Only amateur tablature will be presented here. I will refrain from displaying any song on this site for which there is accurate professional tablature available for purchase commercially. I believe the work below will help guitarists better understand and appreciate Paul's music and does not detract from his commercial success in any way. I have not had, and am not seeking, any financial gain from these tablature.
In 2001, Wise Publications published two new professional tablature books covering some music of Paul Simon. As a result of the material in these books, I have removed the tablature of Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard from this webpage since it was virtually identical to the tab presented in the Wise Publications books. The other works in these books are sufficiently different from the tabs of the same songs presented here (which represent the nuances of certain live performances) that it merits keeping these live tabs available here for now.
