SIb DOsusI turned my collar to the cold and damp
SIb DOsuswhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
split the night... and touched 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

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.

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