Song title: Bye Bye Love
Performed by: Simon and Garfunkel
Album: Bridge Over Troubled Water
Chords interpreted by: Hans Julian Sloman

The song seems to be using only the chords B, F# and C# (and E5 in the intro);
however there are multiple ways of creating those sounds.
Another version available on here tells you to play
A, E, and B, (and D5) while using a capo in 2nd fret.
However getting from E to B can be awkward for beginners,
so here's a version that I came up with that might make it
easier for you, while still being able to play along with the song
(e.g. not in a different key):
Capo 7th fret
INTRO: C A5 F F A5 C
[CHORUS]
FBye bye, Clove.
FBye bye, Chappiness.
FHello, Cloneliness.
CI think I'm Ggonna crCy.
FBye bye, Clove.
FBye bye, Csweet caress.
FHello, Cemptiness.
CI feel like GI could diCe.
CBye bye, my Glove, goodbyCe.
[VERSE 1]
CThere goes my Gbaby
GWith someone Cnew.
CShe sure looks Ghappy;
GI sure am Cblue.
CShe was my Fbaby
F'till he stepped Gin.
GGoodbye, to romance
GThat might have Cbeen.
(CHORUS)
[VERSE 2]
CI'm through with Gromance.
GI'm through with Clove.
CI'm through with Gcounting
GThe stars aCbove,
CAnd here's the Freason
FThat I'm so Gfree:
GMy lovin' baby
GIs through with Cme.
(CHORUS)
(repeat and fade) Goodbye, my love goodbye.
(some more notes:
-7th fret is quite far up for a capo, so it only works on good acoustics or
electric guitars
-play A5 simply like a normal A except you only hit the A, D and G string/or
you can mute the B string.
-If you don't care for playing/singing along with the record, there are lots
of easy variations available (e.g. Transposing, with change of key).
For example you could play C, G, and D; or D, A, and E; or you can play the
version described here without a capo.
