Song: Fakin' it
Artist: Simon and Garfunkel
Composer: Paul Simon
Album: Bookends

Tabbed by: DJ  2nd April 2014

This is a link to a 1968 live (audio only) version:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k17ln7BQ38o
For this live bridge they skip the whole of the
'Good mornin', Mr. Leitch..." section,
and for the Coda they finish with a bar of the
Intro riff, ending back on the C7
=====================================================
IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website
displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
options for a particular chord progression.
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.

CAPO: 4th fret
(Will then sound in the recorded key of E)

Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo
C7 = x32310   (E/G#) = 4xxxxx    Dm  = xx0231
F  = 133211    A     = x02220    C   = x32010
Em = 022000    D     = xx0232    D/A = x00232
E  = 022100    D7    = xx0212    E7  = 022130

N.C. = No chords     ^ = Emphasise the beats
