  	                Sounds of Silence ( Paul Simon )

  

  	     Acoustic version from the Wednesday Morning 3AM album.

  Note : This acoustic version can be found on the Wednesday Morning 3AM album.

         

         The part which is transcribed here can also be heard on the

         electrically-dubbed version featured on the Sounds of Silence album,

         along with the 12-string guitar part. 

  

         The first chords ( Amsus2 and G5 ) contain no third note,

         then the tone of the song is clear from the 5th bar only,

         when the tension is released, on the word "again". 

  

  

   Capo 6th fret

  

             Amsus2
