After the second and fourth verses he does this Dsus thing:

And then right back to the filler/intro lick.

Words: (the chords are the same as the first verse for all verses except the end of the 
second - D/C/G
of Gsus/D/G)

G               C               G            Am    Gsus   C/F#   D7/F#
I hear the drizzle of the rain,       like a memory it falls
G         D/F#     G     C                Am      Gsus   D          G
Soft and warm, continuing                tapping on my roof and walls

G               C               G           Am  Gsus      C/F#    D7/F#
And from the shelter of my mind,     Through the window of my eyes
G       D/F#            G               C          Am     D                 C      G
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets,    To England where my heart lies

(Here?s where it goes to Dsus)

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

(Back to Dsus)

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

(Really cool guitar solo verse, which I may tab later...)

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:

Ah, sweet poetry... Love and beauty to all,

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).

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)
