Chords for ♪♫ Simon and Garfunkel - Mrs Robinson (Tutorial)

[E] Hi [F] guys, I'd like to show you how to play Mrs.
[Eb] Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel.
This is the way I play it anyway.
[Gm] Not too hard, [A] I always say that don't I?
[Gm] It's basically just [F] verse, chorus, [E] verse, chorus, verse, chorus, [Eb] this song.
So all you need to learn is the verse, chorus, which is [F] two parts.
_ [E] And the intro just starts on an E chord.
Okay, so the _ _ _ [A] strum right through [E] is more or less down, down, down, up, down, up, down, down, down, up, down, up, down, up, more or less. _ _
_ _ Now if you just start [G] playing E like that, no one's going to [E] know what the hell the song is.
You can _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ automatically pick [F] that Mrs.
Robinson [E] straight up now, can't you?
_ You're just basically releasing _ _ _ the fifth string and back onto the fifth string of the E.
Then releasing the fourth string and back on with the E. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So it takes a little bit of practice, _ but then you'll get it.
_ _ _ So I'll [G] show you the verse [E] first.
_ I'll just [G] play it once through.
[E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ I messed up the [Em] words, but [E] anyway.
On the E. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Then just release to an E7. _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ To the A.
_ _ _ _ _ _ A to A7.
Sometimes on the A, I like to release the second string.
To an Asus2.
Back to the A.
And then to the A7, if you like. _ _ _ _ _ _
D.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G]
G.
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
C.
[Am] Walking down into the A [C] minor.
So C, _
_ [Bm] fifth string, second fret.
_ Still holding down the second string, first [Am] fret.
_ To the A minor. _
_ Now, what I [A] like to do is inky onto the second string, third [F] fret to make the [A] Asus4.
And if you can, you can put a bend on that.
[C] So I'll just _ [Am] _ _ _
release it.
Back to the A minor.
_ [E] Back to the E.
_ [D] And then to a D7 before you leave the verse. _
_ Okay, so [G] once again [E] very slowly.
E.
_ _ _ _ _ D7. _
_ _ [A] A. _ _ _
A7.
_ _ [D] D.
[G] G. _
C.
Down to the [Am] A minor.
_ _ Throw in the bend if you like, or just sit on the A minor if you don't like to do that.
_ [E] E.
_ _ _ [D] _ D7. _
Alright, and then [Am] into the chorus.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ Okay, [G] so it's _ G.
_ _ [Em] _
D minor.
Back to G.
[G] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
Back to A minor again.
_ [C] _ C. _
[D] _ D.
Okay, E.
[G] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [G] E.
_ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [A] So instead of the D that time, this time it's to an A minor.
_ _ _ _ [E] And then back into your E intro. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So just one more time with [G] the chorus.
G.
_ _ [Em] E minor.
[G] G. _
[Em] E minor.
[C] _ C. _ _
_ [D] _ D.
_ _ [G] G.
_ [Em] D [G] minor.
G. _
[Em] E minor.
_ [C] C.
_ _ _ [Am]
A minor.
_ _ [E] Back to G7. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ D.
_ _ _ D7.
_ [A] _ A _ minor. _
_ [D] _ _ [G] A minor.
[C] D.
[Am] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[D] A minor. C.
C9. [G] D. C9.
[Em] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Em] _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [C] Is that enough?
Mrs.
Robertson, cool [G] song.
Isn't [Db] that the song that stopped Hey Jude from [Gm] getting called Song of the Year in 68
or something like that?
[C] Always [A] held something against [E] Mrs.
Robertson for doing that, but [Gm] can't deny it is a great song.
Anyway, go play
