Paul Simon - Kodachrome Transpose up Transpose down

Originally in D capo 2, which is where I play it. Originally

in drop-D, which I don’t bother with.

Almost entirely alternating bass/upper pattern.

Riff on the verse/intro G is some version of:

D|--------0-0-----|
A|----1-2-----1-2-|
E|3-3-------------|
