Still Crazy After All These Years Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Paul Simon
Still Crazy After All These Years  

Here's a "simplified" version of this jazz classic.  This song has
some crazy chord progressions. I've tried to capture the overall
tone without impossible chords.

A video of THIS tab being played:  

Here's some footage of Paul Simon playing this song on the 
guitar in the key of D while he was still working on it:

He eventually brought it up to the key of G and it
was played on a keyboard.  All chords and a few riffs
are listed at the bottom.  I left out the Sax solo.

Please purchase the track to get the timing.

         G   G7           C                 Cm6
I met my old lover on the street last night
           G         F#dim7               Em       Em-D#m-Dm
She seemed so glad to see    me    I just smiled
       G                G7/B              C                    C#dim7(2)
And we talked about some old times And we drank ourselves some beers
      G           D7        Em      C#dim7
Still crazy after all these years   Oh...
      G           D7        Cm         Bm   D   G  C/G  G
Still crazy after all these years

            G       G7               C          Cm6
I'm not the kind of man who tends to socialize
          G       F#dim7       Em       Em-D#m-Dm
I seem to lean on old familiar ways
       G               G7/B            C             C#dim7(2)
And I aint no fool for love songs that whisper in my ears
      G           D7        Em      C#dim7
Still crazy after all these years   Oh...
      G           D7        G9         
Still crazy after all these years


Amaj7               B       Bsus2     Emaj7   E      (See Fill #1)
Four in the morning cr*pped out,      yawn  - ing
Abm7       Dbsus4 Db   F#maj7 (or F#)
Longing my li-fe       away
Em7        B   C  B   C      G                       (See Fill #2)
I'll never wor-ry Why should I? 
C          B          Am7    D  D7   G  C/G  G
      It's all gonna fade

G               G7           C         Cm6
Now I sit by my window and I watch the cars
  G                 F#dim7          Bsus4   E        (See Fill #3)
I fear I'll do some damage one fine day
      A               A7          D          D#dim7
But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers
      A           E         F#m     D#dim7
Still crazy after all these years,  Oh
      A                 D           Dsus4  D
Still crazy             Still crazy
      A           E         A    D/A   A
Still crazy after all these years
