Simon & Garfunkel Songbook Buying Guide
Play Simon & Garfunkel Songs: Two Songbook Options
For readers exploring Paul Simon’s songwriting, these two decade anthologies offer a way to play a familiar Simon & Garfunkel song alongside music by other artists. Choose by the song you want and the arrangement you can use. Neither book is a dedicated Paul Simon collection or a recording of his performances.
For “Mrs. Robinson”: Songs of the 1960s
The retailer lists “Mrs. Robinson” in this multi-artist anthology, alongside approximately 100 popular songs from the decade. It contains sheet music for piano, vocals and guitar, with a printed code for online backing tracks that can be streamed or downloaded.
Format: 416-page softcover, 9 × 12 inches; retailer SKU 623645. Check sample pages or ask the retailer about the arrangement before buying: a piano/vocal/guitar book should not be assumed to contain guitar tablature or the original recorded guitar part.

Format: 470-page softcover, 9 × 12 inches; retailer SKU 623653. Choose this volume if “Bridge over Troubled Water” is the song you want to play. The decade label does not mean it is a Paul Simon solo-career collection.
