Sounds of Silence (Paul Simon)
Acoustic version from the Wednesday Morning 3AM album.
Transcribed by Jean-Marc Orliaguet
(jmo@fy.chalmers.se, http://fy.chalmers.se/~jmo)
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
