Chords for How To Play Simon & Garfunkel Bookends (intro only)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Some melodies are so perfect that you couldn't improve them by changing [D#] a single note.
And this, to [D#] my mind, is one of them.
This [B] is bookends.
You capo at fret 4.
And [G] we're going to play some favourite little [Gm] Paul Simon accompaniment patterns,
starting with this [G] one, bars 1 and 2 of your tab.
[F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] In various places in his music, [N] he puts in this or variations on this pattern.
[B] We want the 3rd fret of the 4th and 2nd strings,
and it's important to use ring and little fingers for that.
You're going to pinch 4 and [F#m] 2, _ _
then come [E] in between those to strings [B] 3 and 1,
and pinch [C] those [G#m] open.
_ And now you want the 1st string 1st fret,
and [Em] 3rd string 2nd fret, [F] and pinch 3 and [F#m] 1.
_ _ Make sure that you don't lift off the [G] ring and little fingers.
You want that to ring across the subsequent notes
to create this beautiful chordal effect.
[Bm] You're going to play that exact pattern 4 [F#] times.
_ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [F#m] _
And that is your first 2 bars, and [B] it's in 3 beats to the bar,
1 [F#m] and 2 [E] and [F#m] 3 and [F#] 1 [F#m] and 2 and 3 and_
_ before moving to [B] 4 beats to the bar for the next 2 [E] bars. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#] OK, so let's look at bar 3.
We moved out of the shape we were just in to a C chord,
a standard C chord shape.
Pinch [E] 3 and 1, _ _ 4 and 2, 5 and 3. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] Then after a little pause, we'll talk about the exact rhythm in a moment,
come back to [D#] 4 and 2, 3 [E] and 1, 4 and 2.
So [D#] that rhythm simply misses the and of 2 and the 3 beats,
leaving that pause.
[E] 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and_
