Most posted verions are WAY wrong. This is my second tab posting
in 11 years (when in 6th grade I submitted this:
http://www.cowboylyrics.com/tabs/misc/sounds-of-silence-3306.html
because of this same situation.)
This is my best guess:
 
Standard tuning, no capo.

look around, be a part.
feel for the winter, but dont have a cold heart.

(this next part is mostly piano - but you can play the normal verse A-shape)
 
Look around, come to me.
I have no answers, but know where I wanna be.
I look around. Way apart.
I was born in the winter but cooled by a warm hart.

Intro is incorrect. It can be partially corrected by shifting up to the g and b strings [maybe just a trivial mistake?]. It starts in D (not A) for the intro then shifts down to the A as you correctly did. It is likely played lower in first position A though and only slides up for the last part of the intro.
