This exact version (where I use a capo in IV) can be found at https://shop.per-olovkindgren.com
It’s an old English tune but it became well known by Simon & Garfunkel in the seventies and later used in the motion picture “The Graduate”.

Beyond perfection
Incredibly beautiful
Exemplarisk tolkning. Jag bugar djupt!
I have always pondered the true meaning behind the original notes of this creation so long ago. Is it a story of long past? I play it as you do, with and without an integrated melody. It is truly a treasured canticle. I have some insight as to how this has became such a treasured song to this day. I studied it for weeks while in college in Boston. I found this info below
but it does not answer my original question.
"The arrangement made famous by Simon & Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" originated in the mid-20th century. Paul Simon learned it in 1965 in London from Martin Carthy. Then Art Garfunkel set it in counterpoint with "Canticle", a reworking of Simon's 1963 song "The Side of a Hill" with new, anti-war lyrics. It was the lead track of the 1966 album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, and was released as a single after being featured on the soundtrack to The Graduate in 1968. The copyright credited only Simon and Garfunkel as the authors, causing ill-feeling on the part of Carthy, who felt the "traditional" source should have been credited. This rift remained until Simon invited Carthy to duet the song with him at a London concert in 2000. "
But I still remain in mystery as to why this piece was ever conceived and to what purpose.

Absolutely fantastic, love the intro.
1:34 goosebumps… every time!
Hauntingly beautiful! I discovered this video in 2008, and it has been my favorite one since then. It always sends shivers up my spine. I cannot even begin to describe the emotion this invokes in me. Music is so powerful. When those perfect notes come together the perfect way, it can make the hair on my neck stand up. This certainly does the trick. I only wish you would make the tabs available. I would love to learn your version of this song.
Bravo guitarist Kindgren.You are quality.
This is wonderful.
It's very nice. I would like to play too. Beautiful ❤

Most beatiful version of Scarborough Fair, mr. Kindgren, I have to say. All best wishes for you
