Mother and Child Reunion Paul Simon
This is one of the first songs I ever
learned, it is quite beautiful. This is
a post of how I remember figuring it out
about seven years ago. I am not sure if all
the lyrics are correct. It is arranged
for a nylon string acoustic guitar playing
mostly open cords.
