Chords for Simon And Garfunkel The Sound of Silence Version Original 1964

_ [F] _ _ _ _ Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, _ _ _ I've come to talk with you [D#m] again. _ _ _ _
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, _ _ left its seeds while I was sleeping. _ _
[B] And the vision _ that was planted in [F#] my brain, _ still remains [D#m] _ [F#] within [C#] the sound. _
Of [A#] silence, _ _ [D#m] in restless dreams I [C#] walked alone, _ _ narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
_ _ Near the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar [B] to the [F#] cold and damp. _
When [B] my eyes were stamped by the flash of a neon [F#] light.
_ Split the night, [D#m] _ _ [F#] and [C#] touched the sound of [D#m] silence.
_ _ And in the naked light I saw, _ ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more.
_ _ People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, _ _ people hearing without [F#] listening. _
People writing [B] _ _ songs, that voices never [F#] shared.
_ No one dared, [D#m] _ _ [F#] _ [C#] disturb the sound.
[D#m] All said, _ _ _ fools say I [C#] do not know, _ _ _ silence like a [D#m] cancer grows.
_ _ Hear [F#] my words that [B] I might [F#] teach you, _ take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you. _
[B] But my _ words, like silent ranger [F#] of spells, _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
[F#] that echo the [C#] _ wills [D#m] of silence.
_ _ _ And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, _ _ to the neon god [D#m] they _ made.
And the sign flashed [B] at its [F#] warning, _ in the words that [B] it was [F#] forming. _ _
And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] walls.
_ And tenement halls, [D#m] _ _ [F#] whisper _ _ [C#] _
_ sounds _ of [G#] silence.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _ _
