Chords for Carmen McRae / Sound of Silence

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
Hello darkness my [Db] old friend, _ I've come to talk to you [Abm] again _ _ _
Because a vision [E] softly [B] creeping, _ [Eb] left its seeds while I [Em] was [B] sleeping _
And _ [E] the vision _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [Abm] still remains within [Gb] [Dbm] the _ [Gb] sound
_ _ _ [Ab] Of silence, in restless [Gb] dreams I walked alone _
Narrow [Abm] streets of _ cobblestone, _ meet the halo [E] of a [B] street lamp
I turned my [E] collar to the cold [B] and damp
_ When [E] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon
I [B] _ _ _ [Ab] split the night and [Gb] touched the _ sound
_ _ [Abm] Of _ silence, and in the naked [Gb] light I saw
Ten thousand [Abm] people make noise
_ People [E] talking without [B] _ speaking
People [E] hearing without [B] listening _
_ _ [E] People writing songs _ that never [B] share
And [Abm] no one dared [Gb] disturb the sound _
_ _ [Abm] Of _ silence, _ [Gb] oh said I you do not know
Silence like a chanter blows
Hear my [E] words that I might [B] teach you
Take my arms [E] that I might [B] reach you
_ But [E] my words lied _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ and echoed in the wells of _ silence _
And the [Gb] people bowed and prayed _
To the neon [Abm] god they made _
And the sign [E] blashed [B] out its warning
And _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _
the sign said the words of the prophets
Are written on the [B] subway walls
And [Abm] tenement halls
And whispered [Abm] in the sound
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
