Bridge Over Troubled Water GUITAR LESSON play-along chords and lyrics (Simon and Garfunkel cover)

I am playing in the key of G major especially for the lower voice (like mine). The Simon and Garfunkel original is played in the key of Eb major - eight frets higher than this. Strumming pattern: All downstrokes (I use a thin plectrum) 1 2 3 4 D D dDdDd (repeated) Count 1: fast down (most dominant to count the beat) 2: slower down emphasising each string / quick touch on the top string (or two). 3: fast down / fast down on top strings 4: same as 3 Count: 1 2 +3+4+1 2 +3+4+ . . . . . This is the basic strum - maybe a small variation here and there. For other version using the same chords: Paul Simon wrote the song in the summer of 1969. It is the title song of Simon and Garfunkel&album of the same name. The single was released in January 1970 and was a huge hit around the world, as was the album.
