The Sound Of Silence Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Hello, darkness, my old [G]friend
I've come to talk to [Am]you again
Because a vision softly [F]creeping
[C]Left its seeds while I [F]was sleep[C]ing
And the vis[F]ion that
was planted in my [C]brain
[Am]Still remains with[C]in the [G]sound of si[Am]lence.
In restless [C]dreams I walk [G]alone,
narrow streets of [Am]cobbled stone.
[C]Neath the halo of a str[F]eet lam[C]p,
I turned my color to [F]the golden [C]dam.
When my [F]eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon [C]light,
That split the night and touched
the [G]sound of [Am]silence
And in the naked night
[G]I saw ten thousand people,
maybe [Am]more
People talk[C]ing without [F]speaking,
[C]people hearing without lis[F]tening
[C]People writing [F]songs
that voices never [C]share
And no one dare [F]dis[C]turb
the [G]sound [Am]of silence
Fool said I, you do [G]not know
Silence like a can[Am]cer grows
[C]Hear my words that I might tea[F]ch you[C]
Take my arms that [F]I might r[C]each you
But my [F]words, like silent raindrops, [C]fell
[Am]And [C]echoed in the [G]well of si[Am]lence,
[Bbm]And the people bo[Ab]wed and prayed
To the neon [Bbm]god they made.
And the [Db]sign flashed [Gb]out its warni[Db]ng
In the words that [Gb]it was forming,
[Db]And the sign said the [Gb]words of the Prophet are written
on the subway [Db]walls and tenement halls
And whispered in the [Ab]sound
s [Ab]of s[Bbm]ilence
you
