Chords for Simon and Garfunkel - The Sound of Silence (1966)

[D#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, _ _ I've come to talk with [D#m] you again. _ _
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, _ _ left its seeds while [B] I [F#] was sleeping. _ _
[B] And the vision _ that was planted in my [F#] brain, _ still _ [A#m]
[D#m] remains [F#] within [C#] the sound _ [D#m] of silence.
_ _ In restless dreams I [C#] walked alone, _ _ narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
_ _ Deep in the middle [B] of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar [B] to the cold and [F#] damp. _
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light,
_ I slit the night [D#m] and [F#] _ [C#] crushed the sound of [D#m] silence.
_ _ _ And in the naked [C#] light I saw, _ _ ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more.
_ _ People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, _ _ people hearing [B] without [F#] listening. _
People [B] writing _ songs that voices never [F#] share.
_ No wonder _ [D#m] the [F#] _ [C#] still sound _ [D#m] of silence.
_ _ _ The cruel said I [C#] do not know, _ _ silence like a [D#] cancer grows.
[D#m] _ _ Hear my words that [B] I might [F#] teach you, _ take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you.
[B] But my _ words, bright silent [F#] raindrops fell, _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] echoed _ _
_ [D#m] outside of me.
_ [D#] And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, _ _ to the neon god [D#m] they made.
_ And the sign flashed [B] out its [F#] warning, in the words that [B] it was [F#] forming. _ _
And the [D#m] sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] walls.
_ Tenorim [D#m] calls, _ [F#] _ whispering in [C#] the sound of _ _ [G#] _ [A#m] silence.
_ _ [D#] _ [A#m] _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
