Still Crazy After All These Years  
by Paul Simon
Tabbed by BaddGuitar

Here's a "simplified" version of this jazz classic.  This song has
some crazy chord progressions. I've tried to capture the overall
tone without impossible chords.

Here's some footage of Paul Simon playing this song on the 
guitar in the key of D while he was still working on it:

He eventually brought it up to the key of G and it
was played on a keyboard.  All chords and a few riffs
are listed at the bottom.  I left out the Sax solo.

Please purchase the track to get the timing.

I met my old lover on the street last night
           G         F#dim7               Em       Em-D#m-Dm
She seemed so glad to see    me    I just smiled
       G                G7/B              C                    C#dim7(2)
And we talked about some old times And we drank ourselves some beers
      G           D7        Em      C#dim7
Still crazy after all these years   Oh...
      G           D7        Cm         Bm   D   G  C/G  G
Still crazy after all these years

            G       G7               C          Cm6
I�m not the kind of man who tends to socialize
          G       F#dim7       Em       Em-D#m-Dm
I seem to lean on old familiar ways
       G               G7/B            C             C#dim7(2)
And I aint no fool for love songs that whisper in my ears
      G           D7        Em      C#dim7
Still crazy after all these years   Oh...
      G           D7        G9         
Still crazy after all these years


Amaj7               B       Bsus2     Emaj7   E      (See Fill #1)
Four in the morning crapped out,      yawn  - ing
Abm7       Dbsus4 Db   F#maj7 (or F#)
Longing my li-fe       away
Em7        B   C  B   C      G                       (See Fill #2)
I�ll never wor-ry Why should I? 
C          B          Am7    D  D7   G  C/G  G
      It�s all gonna fade

G               G7           C         Cm6
Now I sit by my window and I watch the cars
  G                 F#dim7          Bsus4   E        (See Fill #3)
I fear I�ll do some damage one fine day
      A               A7          D          D#dim7
But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers
      A           E         F#m     D#dim7
Still crazy after all these years,  Oh
      A                 D           Dsus4  D
Still crazy             Still crazy
      A           E         A    D/A   A
Still crazy after all these years
