Fifty Ways To Leave tab by Paul Simon
Guitar Tab
Here's my take on 50 ways. It sounds dead on to me. If you have any questions about it, drop me a line. 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover Paul Simon --------------------------- ---------- verse: Intro is just one time through on just guitar (and snare). The B7 with the passing C note is played with a mini-barre using the index finger on an otherwise standard B7 chord. (that is, finger a B7 and then flatten your index finger to get the C).

chorus: (no attempt to show the rhythm here)
Note - I have been told that the G should just have G's and D's so
that it is ambiguous whether it's major or minor, though it's always
sounded minor to me. I put the emphasis on the bass notes when
playing to get the effect.
