Chords for Simon & Garfunkel - The Sound Of Silence (Lyrics)

_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, _ I've come to talk with you [D#m] again
_ _ Because a vision softly [F#] creeping
_ Left its seeds [B] while I was [F#] sleeping
_ [B] And the vision that was planted in [F#] my brain
still [D#m] remains _
[F#] within the [C#] sound
Of [A#] silence _ _
[D#m] in restless dreams I [C#] walked alone _ _
Narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone
_ _ Deeper hill of a [F#] street lamp
I turned my collar [B] to the cold [F#] and damp
_ [B] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [F#] neon light
Split the [D#m] night _
[F#] Touch the [C#] sound
_ _ [D#m] _ Silent [D#] and in the naked [C#] light I saw
_ 10,000 people maybe [D#] more
_ [D#m] _ People talking without [F#] speaking
People hearing [B] without listening
[F#] _ People writing _ [B] songs that voices never [F#] share
No one there _
_ [C#] Disturbing sound
_ [D#m] Silent, _ _ fools say I do [C#] not know _ _
Silence like a [D#] cancer grows
_ _ [D#m] Hear my words that I might [F#] teach you
Take my arms [B] that I might reach [F#] you
But [B] my words
Like silent [F#] raindrops fell
_ _ _ [D#m] _
[F#] Echo [C#] of _ _ [D#m] _ silence
_ [D#] And the people [C#] bowed and prayed _
To the neon [D#m] god they made
_ And the sign flashed out [F#] its warning
In the words [B] that it was [F#] forming
And the sign said the [B] words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] walls
_ Tenement halls _ _ whispering [C#] the _ sounds of [F] silence
_ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
