There are two guitars on this wonderful recording. I believe Paul Simon is playing the main guitar which is capoed at the 9th fret. The poet . Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank. Like a shroud it covers Bleecker Street, Fills the alleys where men sleep, Hides the shepherd from the sheep.
Voices leaking from a sad cafe, Smiling faces try to understand.
I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand, On Bleecker Street. The poet reads his crooked rhyme, Holy, holy is his sacrament. Thirty dollars pays your rent, On Bleecker Street. In a melody sustainin'. It's a long road to Canaan, On Bleecker Street.
