Intro: Play G chord, but hammer on the 3 from an open E.  Listen to recording.  He  
also hammers and pull offs a 1 on the B string 


G                                                    Walk-up C 
Silence is golden some may say, some may say 
        C                          G      F# 
I say silence is an aimless time to kill 
      Em                F#              C   
Its a restless feeling pounding on my brain both night and day 
              G                    F#              G 
and these old wheels of mine spin louder as it builds 

Repeat for rest of song 

Yes the sky would surely fall if my dear eardrum did fail 
to beat a single time, in time or out 
Some may make it out alright and some may have never known 
but these old wheels spin far too loud, far too loud 

For I love to hear a Chorus from the morning bird choir 
and the sounds of coffee boiling on the pot 
How I love to hear I love you in a dry morning tone 
And just assume that if I can't these wheels would stop 

Yes happy is the day I lay my poor head down 
with neither trial nor trouble to compete 
with the chirp of summer crickets nor a tree frog?s croak 
And these old wheels slow down enough so that I may sleep 

Solo is just the chord progression again 

Silence is golden some may say, some may say 
I say silence is an aimless time to kill 
It's a restless feeling pounding on my brain both night and day 
and these old wheels of mine spin louder as it builds
