Paul Simon – Train In The Distance Like so many of Paul Simon's works, the technique of each proves extremely difficult. I attempted a chorded version of this song after listening to the acoustic demo available on the Hearts & Bones record. Hope you enjoy... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chords: (Low E-String dropped to D) DADGBe DADGBe DADGBe D: 000232 F#m: 042200 A11: 009000 D9: 000210 Am/C: 032210 G6: 554030 D6: 000430 B7: 021200 D/F#: 400200 Dmaj9: 000220 Em: 022000 Cmaj9: 032400 Bm7: 024232 Bb/A7: x12320 B11: 004200 F: x33210 C: x32010 Bb: x12221 Open: 000000 Intro: D D9 D6 Dmaj9 D (x2) Verse One: D F#m Am/C B7 She was beautiful as Southern skies, the night he met her, Em A11 she was married to someone...
