April Come She Will
Paul Simon
Simon & Garfunkel
Sounds of Silence
1966
This version comes from the Concert in Central Park
album. I think there are two guitars, because you can't
play this on one guitar (at least not if you're human).
Have fun with this, and good luck!

LYRICS:
April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May she will stay
Resting in my arms again
June she'll change her tune
In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July she will fly
And give no warning to her flight
August die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old
