So Long Frank Lloyd Wright — Simon & Garfunkel
#This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song. You may only use this file for private study, scholarship, or research. # From: Rich Kent
This is a beautiful song played on a classical guitar, Paul Simon fingerpicks throughout. This is not really in his usual style it has a rhumba feel in 4/4 Note that halfway through the tune he takes off his capo and plays it open... I hope you enjoy it, it sure took long enough to tab out.. Notes and lyrics are at the end....

Architects may come and architects may go and never change your point of view When I run dry I stop a while and think of you

Notes:
Instrumental I
Paul Simon plays underneath the flute from the beginning up to the first Ab, then he skips somewhere and I'm not sure where, you'll have to work it out yourself...
Instrumental II
He plays from the Gm7 to C7 (marked by stars)
