--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Born at the Right Time - Paul Simon --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Paul Simon Born at the Right Time (1989) (Paul Simon) From: "The Rhythm of the Saints" I used the "Original Acoustic Demo" (a bonus track on the 2011 remaster of the album) for this tab. This recording only features Simon singing and strumming an acoustic guitar. But chords, rhythm and tuning also fit to the full version. Want to know what this tab sounds like' Check out my recording here: http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/maguri/music/all/play1206676 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capo 3rd fret Whatever your strumming pattern may be, make sure to include the following pattern: INTRO/VERSE
