Chords for Emiliana Torrini - The Sound Of Silence

[A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
Hello darkness my [G] old friend, _ _ _ I've come to talk with [A] you again.
[E] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [C] Because a vision [F] softly [C] creeping, _ _ _ left its seeds while [F] I was [C] sleeping. _
And [F] the vision _ that was planted in my [C] brain, _ _ still remains [Am] _ _ [C] _
within [G] the sound _ of [E]
silence.
[Am] _ _ _ In restless dreams I [G] walked alone, _ _ _ _ narrow streets of [Am] cobblestone. _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] Neatly halo [F] of a street [C] lamp, I turned my collar [F] to the cold [C] and damp.
_ _ When my eyes [F] were stabbed _ by the flesh of a neon,
[C] _ _ _
that split the night _ [Am] _ _ [C] _
and touched [G] 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 writing [F] so _ _ _ _ voices never _ [C] share, _ and no one dare,
_ [Am] _ _ [C] _
to [G] sniff the sound _ [Am] of _ silence.
_ _ _ Those that I knew [G] do not know, _ _ _ _ _ silence like a chance [Am] of rose. _ _ _
_ [C] In my words that [F] I might [C] teach you, _ _ with my arms that [F] I might [C] reach you.
_ _ [F] But my _ words like _ _ _ some [C] spell _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [C] can echo _ [G] in the well _ [Am] of silence.
_ _ _ And the people [G] bowed and prayed, _ _ _ _ to the neon god [Am] they made. _ _ _
_ [C] And the sign flashed [F] out its [C] warning, _ _ in the words that [F] it was [C] for me.
_ _ And the sign [F] said the words of the prophet, _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
and tenement [Am] halls, _ and [C] his spirit, [G] in the _ _ sound of silence.
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
