This song is one of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs even though it's only a demo
the Sounds of Silence record. This is plays correctly with the song though there's quite
bit of picking that Paul Simon has going on.

She was the Flower of Be-el-ton, and the Rose of Ab-er-deen.

But her parents did not like me, and now she feels much the same.

If I'm writ on your di-a-ry, well blo-ot out my name.
