Bookends Theme

Simon & Garfunkel
Tab
★4.9(183)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Repeat for verses...

Time it was and what a time it was it was

A time of innocence, a time of confidences.

Long ago it must be, I have a photograph.

Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you...

Begin again with new fourth measure...
