                Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes
                         by Paul Simon
                        (off Graceland)

Bassist: Baghiti Khumalo

NOTE: I've only figured out the main groove, and two of those beautiful
      licks that Baghiti does.  The chorus is based on F-Bb-C, but I
      can't pick out exactly what he's doing.  "." indicate stoccato notes.
