For Emily Whenever I May Find Her by Paul Simon
For Emily Whenever I May Find Her
I play it on Capo III
THE CHORDS:
D5: xx0235
G5: xx0033
D: 200232
G: xx0033
Cmaj7: x32000
A: x02220
THE PICKING PATTERN:
B-2-(3+1)-2-B-2-(3+1)-2
Where B is the lowest bass note, as indicated in the above chord charts.
(3+1) indicates that the 3 and the 1 are plucked simultaneously. As you
may have guessed, all of the above strings get 1/8 note.
This pattern is consistent throughout the song
Intro: /D5/G5/D5/G5
THE SONG:
Intro: /D5.../G5.../D5.../G5.../
(D5) What a dream I had,(G) pressed in (Fig 1) organdy
(D) Clothed in crinoline (Cmaj7) of smokey burgandy
(G) Softer than the (A) rain
I wanderd empty streets, down past the shop display
I heard cathedral bells, tripping down the alley-way
As I walked on
And when you ran to me, your checks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand
(instrumental)
And when I awoke and felt your warm and near
I kissed your honey hair, with my grateful tears
Oh I love you girl
(Cmaj7) Oh (G) how I love you (A) girl
THE FIGURES:
Each dash represents 1/16th note. I have tried to be exact in this to make
it easier.
s - strum
r - strum, with a slight ritard (normally notated by a wavy down arrow next
to the chord)
p - pluck

What I dream I had:
G
Pressed in organdy;
D Cmaj7
Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy;
G A
Softer than the rain.

I wandered empty streets

Down past the shop displays.

I heard cathedral bells
Cmaj7
Tripping down the alley ways,
G A
As I walked on.

And when you ran to me
G
Your cheeks flushed with the night.

We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight,

I held your hand.

And when I awoke

and felt you warm and near,

I kissed your honey hair

with my grateful tears.

Oh I love you, girl.
