Chords for Simon & Garfunkel - Sounds Of Silence (Live Canadian TV, 1966)

_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ One of the biggest hang-ups we have today is the inability of people to communicate
not only on an intellectual level but on an emotional level as well
so you have people [B] unable to _ touch other people, unable to love other people
and this is a song about the inability to communicate, it's called Sounds [D] of Silence _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ Hello darkness [C] my old friend
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ Because [F] it visioned [Bb] softly [F] creeping
_ _ Left its seeds while [Bb] I was [F] sleeping
_ _ And [Bb] the vision _ that was planted in my [F] brain
_ _ [D] Still remains
_ [E] _ [F] Within [C] the sound _ [Dm] of _ silence
In restless dreams I [C] walked alone _ _ _ _
Narrow streets of [Dm] _ cobblestone _ _
[F] Near the halo [Bb] of a [F] street lamp
I turned my collar to [Bb] the cold and [F] damp _
When my eyes were snapped by the flash of a neon [F] light
That split the night _ [Dm] _ [Em] _ [F] and [C] touched the sound _
[Dm] How silent _ _ that in the vacant [C] light I saw _ _ _
People [D] maybe [Dm] more
_ _ People [Bb] talking without [F] speaking _ _
People hearing without listening _ _
People writing [Bb] _ _ songs
That voices never [F] share
_ No one [Dm] dare _ [F] _ [C] disturb the sound
[Dm] Of silence
_ _ _ Blues that I do [C] not know
_ _ _ Silence like a [Dm] cancer grows
_ _ _ Hear my words that [Bb] I might [F] teach you
_ Take my arms [Bb] that I might [F] reach _ you
But [Bb] my words like silent raindrops [F] fill
_ _ _ _ [D] _
[F] An echo
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ And the people [C] bowed and _ prayed
To the neon god [Dm] they _ _ made
[F] And the sign [Bb] flashed in [F] the morning
_ _ In the world that [Bb] it was [F] forming
_ _ And the sign [Bb] said the words of the prophet
Are written on the subway [F] _ walls
[Dm] A tenement called
The _ _ _ _ _ [C]
Sound _ _ _ [A] of Silence
