Howdy everybody,
Heres my transcription of Mrs Robinson. I'm not sure exactly how accurate the
riffs are, but they seem not too bad to me. Any comments or corrections
please email me.

A nation turns its lonely eyes to you
Ooo ooo ooo.

Hey hey hey,
Hey hey hey.

Just a point of information: the version of "Mrs. Robinson" which appears
in _The Graduate_ sounds utterly different from that which was released
on the "Bookends" album. It does not use the riff you have transcribed
here at all, but rather a complex strumming pattern (and it has none of
the lyrics that appeared in the final version except for the dee-dees and
the chorus).
The soundtrack version does appear on _The Graduate_ soundtrack album,
which I have in vinyl. I have no idea if it is available on CD (though I
would guess it is).
Happy strumming...
