Subject: "Time It Was" by Paul Simon

I had a moment to reformat my submittal of "Time it Was". I hope that I've

got it right this time. Typing tab on a word processor is murder.

Time It Was (KODAK Song) by Paul Simon

This gives away my age; I picked this up from the radio

Sweet Elegance and understatement are the goals here.

To make it flow, each of the triplets are played like a chord.

The first chord is a "C" form E played with a 1/2 barre on the

4th fret.

For the second finger form, the third and fourth fingers are

place on the seventh

fret of the third and first strings, the first finger 1/2 barres

the fourth fret and then slides to the fifth fret. The second

finger is added to the 6th fret of the third string during the

slide.

The last chord form is an "E" form A in the fifth position. You

don't need to barre the fifth fret, just use the index finger for

the second string.

For each verse play it through to the first ending then return to

the beginning and play through to the second ending.
