Copy and paste this link to hear the song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C1BCAgu2I8
The original album track and single are slightly sharp
of standard pitch.
FINE TUNING:
To better match the original single, and the 'Bookends'
album track, use a chromatic tuner and tune all the
strings up slightly sharp by approx. +25 cents
Here's a link to a LIVE VERSION in STANDARD PITCH with
NO CAPO. It's also in the key of G, a WHOLE TONE LOWER
than the original studio version:
