Chords for Simon & Garfunkel Sound Of Silence Lyrics

[D#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] 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 [B] was [F#] sleeping. _ _
[B] And the vision _ that was planted in my [F#] brain, _ still remains [D#m] _ [F#] within [C#] the sound [D#] of [G#] silence.
_ [D#m] _ In restless dreams I [C#] walk alone, _ _ narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
_ _ _ Deep the hill [B] of a [F#] street lamp, I turn my collar [B] to the cold and [F#] damp. _
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [F#] neon light.
_ The split the night, [D#m] _ _ [F#] the [C#] hushed the sound of [D#m] silence.
_ And in the [C#] naked light I saw, _ _ ten thousand people [D#] maybe more.
[D#m] _ _ People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, _ _ people hearing [B] without _ [F#] listening. _
People [D#m] writing [B] _ songs that voices never [F#] share.
_ No one there, [D#m] _ _ [F#] to [C#] stir up the sound [D#m] of silence.
_ _ _ Fools that I do [C#] not know, _ _ silence like a [D#] cancer grows.
_ [D#m] _ Hear my words that [B] I might [F#] teach you, _ take my arms [B] that I might [F#] meet you. _
[B] But my _ words, like silent [F#] raindrops fell, _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
_ [F#] _ echoed [C#] the _ ripples [D#m] of silence.
_ _ [D#] And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, _ _ during the [D#m] ungodly maid.
_ _ And the sign flashed [B] out 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 [F#] subway walls.
_ _ Tenement halls, [D#m] _ _ [F#] whispering _ [C#] the sounds _ of _ [D#] silence.
_ _ _ _ [A#m] _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
