Simon & Garfunkel  - The Sound Of Silence chords
Start Jamming...
Hello darkness [C] my old friend, [G] I've come to talk [A] with you again.
Because a vision [Bb] softly [F] creeping, left its seeds [Bb] while I [F] was sleeping.
And [Bb] the vision that was planted in [F] my brain, still [Dm] remains.
[F] Within [C] the sound [Dm] of silence, in restless dreams [C] I walk alone.
Narrow streets of [Dm] cobblestone, near the halo of a [Bb] street [F] lamp.
I turn my [Bb] collar to the cold [F] and damp, [Bb] when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [F] neon light.
That split the [Dm] night, [F] and touched [C] the sound [Dm] of silence.
And in the naked [C] light I saw, ten thousand people maybe [Dm] more.
People talking without [F] speaking, people hearing [Bb] without [F] listening.
People writing [Bb] songs, that voices never [F] share, and no one [Dm] dare [F] [C] disturb the sound [A] of silence.
Those that [C] I you do not know, silence like a [Dm] cancer grows.
Hear my words that [Bb] I might teach [F] you, take my arms [Bb] that I might [F] reach you.
[Bb] But my words, like silent [F] raindrops fell,
[Dm] [F] echoed in [C] the well [A] of silence.
[Dm] And the people [C] bowed and prayed, to the neon [Dm] god they made.
And the sign flashed [Bb] out its [F] warning, in the words that [Bb] it [F] was forming.
And the sign [Bb] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F] walls,
and tenement [Dm] halls, [F] whispered [C] in the sounds of [D] silence.
