Song: Sound of Silence (Cover) Artist: Passenger Tabbed by: max.adams97 Tuning: Standard Original Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCb91rATBHI Capo on 5th fret First tab sheet I've attempted. Hope you like it. I've tried to copy the song played in the video as best as possible, so some parts may be open to interpretation. Some parts of the song will require you to use your thumb, to hold down the 6th string, first fret. If you have any corrections, please do comment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Intro: E|-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----| B|--------0-----------0-----------0-----------0--| G|--2-----------2-----------2-----------2--------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|--0--------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----| B|--------0-----------0-----------0-----------0--| G|--2-----------2-----------2-----------2--------| D|-----------------------------------------------| A|--0--------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------| E|-----0------------------------------3----| B|--------3p1p0-----------0--1--0--------1-| G|--2------------2-----2-----------2-------| D|------------------2----------------------| A|--0--------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Main: (x3) E|-------------------------------------------| B|--------0--1--------0--1-------0--------0--| G|-----------0-----------0-------------------| D|--------0-----------0----------0--------0--| A|-----2-----------2----------2--------2-----| E|--3-----------3----------3--------3--------| Well hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, E|------------------------------------------| B|--------0h1--------0h1--------1---------1-| G|--------2----------2----------2---------2-| D|-----2-----2----2-----2----2-----2---2----| A|--0----------0----------0----------0------| E|------------------------------------------| Because a vision E|---------------------------------------------| B|--------1------------------------1--------1--| G|-------------------0-------------0--------0--| D|--------3-----0h2-----2p0-----2--------2-----| A|-----0-----3---------------3--------3--------| E|--1------------------------------------------| softly creeping, Left its seeds while E|---------------------------------------------| B|--------1------------------------1--------1--| G|-------------------0-------------0--------0--| D|--------3-----0h2-----2p0-----2--------2-----| A|-----0-----3---------------3--------3--------| E|--1------------------------------------------| I was sleeping E|--------------------------------------------------| B|--------1-----------1-----------1-----------1-----| G|--------0-----------0--------------0-----------0--| D|-----------3-----------3--------3-----------3-----| A|-----0-----------0-----------0-----------0--------| E|--1-----------1-----------1-----------1-----------| And the vision that was planted in my brain E|------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------1--------------1--------0h1-----------1--| G|---------0-------0----------0--------2-------------0--| D|-----0h2---2---2---2-----2--------2-------2-----2-----| A|--3-------------------3--------0-------------3--------| E|------------------------------------------------------| Still remains Within the sound E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------0h1--------0--------0h1-----------0h1-----------1-----------1--| G|----------------------------0-------------0-------------0-----------0--| D|--------0----------0-----2-------2-----2-------2-----2-----2-----2-----| A|-----2----------2-----0-------------0-------------0-----------0--------| E|--3----------3---------------------------------------------------------| of silence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ End: E|---------------------------------------| B|--1h1-1---1-1h1-1---1-1h1-1---1-1h1-1--| G|--0-2-2---0-0-2-2---0-0-2-2---0-0-2-0--| D|--0-2-2---0-0-2-2---0-0-2-2---0-0-2-0--| A|------------------------------------2--| E|------------------------------------3--| E|----3--3--3--3--3--| B|----1--0--0--0--0--| G|----0--0--0--0--0--| D|----0--0--0--0--0--| A|----2--2--2--2--2--| E|----3--3--3--3--3--| V V ^ ^ V ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. And in the naked light I saw Ten thousand people, maybe more. People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening, People writing songs that voices never share And no one dared Disturb the sound of silence. "Fools," said I, "You do not know - Silence like a cancer grows. Hear my words that I might teach you. Take my arms that I might reach you." But my words like silent raindrops fell And echoed in the wells of silence And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made. And the sign flashed out its warning In the words that it was forming. And the sign said, The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls And tenement halls. But cant you see that where lost. And thankyou soo much, for silence.
