And then right back to the filler/intro lick.

Note: At the end of the third line of each verse, there is a walkup from G to C that Paul Simon loves to (Homeward Bound, Boxer, etc...) and he alternates from the single note walk I put in the tab at that spot a more common (and cooler) walkup:

This tab is developed from the one by John Nimis. I don't claim it to be
better, but it's certainly a lot closer to the recorded version (on sound of
silence).Verses

Lyrics: (intro) I hear the drizzle of the rain, like a memory it falls, soft and warm, continuing, tapping on my roof and walls. And from the shelter of my mind, through the window of my eyes I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets, to England where my heart lies. (bridge) My mind's distracted and diffused, my thoughts are many miles away. They lie with you when you're asleep, and kiss you when you start your day. And a song I was writing is left undone. I don't know why I spend my time writing songs I can't believe with words that tear and strain to rhyme. (bridge) And so you see I have come to doubt all that I once held as true. I stand alone without beliefs. The only truth I know is you. And as I watch the drops of rain weave their weary paths and die I know that I am like the rain. There but for the grace of you go I. (solo verse) ************************************ | (n) Ghost note | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off | \ Slide down
