The Sound Of Silence Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Hello darkness, my o[D]ld friend
I've come to talk with you
[G]again[Em]
Because a vision [G]softly [C]cre[G]eping
Left its seeds [C]while I was [G]sleeping
And the [C]vision that was planted in [G]my brain
[C]Still [Em]remains
[G]Within the sou[D]nd of silen[Em]ce

[Verse 2]
In restless dreams I [G]walked [D]alone
Narrow streets of cobble[Em]stone
'Neath the halo of [C]a s[G]treet lamp
I turned my collar to the
[C]cold [G]and damp
When my [C]eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon [G]light
[Am]That split [Em]the n[G]ight
And touched the [D]sound of si[Em]lence
And [D]in the

[Verse 3]
[G]na ked [Em]light [D]I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe [Em]more
People talking [C]without [G]speaking
People hearing [C]without [G]listening
People writing [C]songs that
voices never [G]share
And no one [Em]dared[G]
[Em]Dis [G]turb the s[D]ound of si[Em]lence

[Verse 4]
Fools, said [Em]I, you do not [D]know
Silence like a cancer [Em]grows
Hear my words [C]that I might [G]teach you
Take my arms [C]that I might [G]reach you
But my [C]words,
like silent raindrops [G]fell[Em]
[G]And echoed in the [D]wells of si[Em]lence
[D]And the [G]people bowed and prayed

[Verse 5]
[D]
To the neon [Em]god they made
And the sign flashed out [C]it s [G]warning
In the words [C]that it was [G]forming
And the sign said
The [C]words of the prophets are written
on the subway [G]walls
And tenement [Em]halls
[G]And whi[Em]spered in [G]the sou[D]nd of silen[G]ce
[A]
