From: "Kean,John" 

There are bits of this that I *know* aren't right (eg 11th bar from the
end), but this is the best I can come up with!
Let me know if you have any improvements.

Rene and Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After the War  - Paul Simon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>From "Hearts and Bones".
Transcribed and tabbed by John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz).
Thanks to Jared White for help with the 4/4 bar.
Note: this is not exactly what Paul plays, but it sounds not too bad.

Lyrics are not exactly lined up with where they are to be sung.

6/8 time (mostly).
