Chords for Emiliana Torrini - Sound of silence

[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
Hello darkness my [G] old friend, _ _ I've come to talk with you [A] [E] again. _ _
_ [C] Because a vision softly [Fm] [C] creeping, _ _ Left its seeds [F] while I was [C] sleeping.
And [F] the vision that was planted in my [C] brain, Still remains [Am] _ _ [C] within [G] the sound of [A] _ [E] [Am] silence.
_ In restless dreams [G] I walked alone, _ _ _ Narrow streets of [Am] cobblestone. _ _ _ _
[C] Neat the halo [F] of a [C] street lamp, I turned my collar [F] to the [C] golden dam. _
When my [F] eyes were stabbed _ by the flesh of a [C] neon,
_ _ That split the night [Am] _ _ [C] and [G] touched the sound [Am] of silence.
_ And in the naked [G] light I saw, _ _ Ten thousand people, maybe [Am] more. _ _ _ _
[C] People talking [F] without [C] speaking, _ _ People hearing [F] without [C] listening, _ _
People [F] writing songs, _ _ Voices [C] never share, _ No one dare.
[Am] _ _ [C] Just [G] hear the sound [Am] of silence, _ _ Voices that I do [G] not know,
_ _ _ Silence like a cancer [Am] grows.
_ _ Hear [C] my words that [F] I might [C] teach you, _ Take my arms that [F] I might [C] reach you. _
[F] But my words like silent raindrops [C] fell, _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[C] And _ echoed [G] in the _ world [Am] of _ silence.
_ And the people [G] bowed and prayed, _ _ _ To the neon [Am] clock they made.
_ _ And [C] the sign blashed [F] out its [C] warning, _ _ In the words that [F] it was [C] forming. _ _
And the sign [F] said the words of the prophets, Are written on the subway [C] walls,
_ And tenement halls, [Am] _ [C] And _ whispered in [G] the sound _ of _ [C] silence. _
