@AnimalsChoice it's in standard G tuning with the 5th string tuned to G, capo on the 5th fret. the chords for the intro are fingered like this (from top to bottom): [00234], [0x435], [00234], [0x222]. For the verse, it's the same except for the added chord after the line "as if i didn't know my own bed," [0x424]. It's a pretty standard inverted travis picking pattern. I'll try to make a tutorial video soon.

I heard this song live and completely lost it when he sang "as if I didn't know that, as if I didn't know my own bed." He's definitely had some personal experience teach him exactly what paul simon meant with that line
what an awsome cover... it's a shame this didn't came out on the cd or the vynil, only for the first 50 releases in europe :\ didn't get it and i want it
Hey, I'm sorry but I don't know where you can buy it online. There's the single on iTunes with "King of Spain" and "Where I Thought I Met the Angels" on it, but "Graceland" is missing, I don't know why...?!
@bleachedgreentank You can get the 'youtube downloader' and download it. The software also has a free converter, to make it into an mp3 of the quality you choose.
Ah, thanks! Been waiting for this for a long time! Not amazing I have to say, though, compared to his other stuff. Don't you think? When he covers it with Jaw Lesson at that concert, it has more energy to it.
Yeah, you're definitely right, I like "Where I Thought I Met the Angels" way more, that's why I didn't upload this at first. But compared to the original by Paul Simmons, it's still quite nice.
He sounds like Rilo off Cleveland Show :P

I like his voice. It's got a certain element I enjoy in it, even when he misses a note it sounds intentional. Thouroughly enjoyed this.

Actually, it took this song to make me realize what a pretty song, lyrically, Graceland really is.

@MESHASMGUD People said the same thing when they first heard Dylan's voice. Maybe try not judging a book by its cover?
