Intro (quickly):

A - down-up-down
D - down-up-down
A - down-down - come in a fraction of a beat early
E - up-down-up-down

Listen to Live Rhymin´ to get a sense of the rhythm.

The first tune I learnt to play properly was Me and Julio Down By The School Yard my teacher transcribed the solo Live Rhymin´ guitar version.

The introduction is played 7 times. Still great to hear live and is one many many buskers have covered over the years.

Good luck learning the music of Paul for guitar.

Thanks for reading.
