The best-known recording of this song is the Art Garfunkel version; this tab is
transcribed from a combination of the acoustic version Jimmy Webb recorded with
Linda Ronstadt and the Five for Fighting version from the "Chicken Little"
soundtrack.
I'm using the vertical bar character (i.e., |) to indicate measures in the intro
and outro. Hope that's OK. Watch out for the third verse -- the chords are
slightly different than the first two.
