Heres my transcription of Mrs Robinson.  I'm not sure exactly how accurate the 
riffs are, but they seem not too bad to me.  Any comments or corrections 
please email me.

Mrs Robinson  - Simon & Garfunkel
~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the motion picture "The Graduate", and the album "Bookends".
Transcribed and tabbed by John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz).

Capo 3rd fret (NB. Pauls guitar is slightly flat).
Suggest one guitar plays chords while another plays the riffs.

4/4 time.
