The sound of silence Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Hello darkness, my old f[G]riend
I've come to talk with you [Am]again
Because a vis[C]ion [F]softly creeping
[C]Left its seeds while I was[F] sleeping
[C]And the vision[F] that was
planted in my [C]brain
Still [Am]remains
[C]Within the[G] sound of silen[Am]ce

[Verse 2]
In restless [Am]dreams I walked [G]alone
Narrow streets of cobble[F]stone[Am]
'Neath [C]the halo of [F]a street l[C]amp
I turned my collar to the [F]cold and [C]damp
When my [F]eyes were stabbed by
the flash of a neon [C]light
[F]That split [C]the night[Am]
[C]And touched the[G] sound of silen[Am]ce

[Verse 3]
And in [Am]the naked light [F]I s[G]aw
Ten thousand people, maybe [Am]more
People [C]talking [F]without speaking
[C]People hearing wit[F]hout listening[C]
People writing [F]songs that
voices never [C]share
And no one [Am]dare
[C]Disturb the[G] sound of silen[F]ce[Am]
"Fools" said [F]I, "You do not know

[Verse 4]
[G]
Silence like a cancer [F]grows[C][Am][C][Am]
Hear my [C]words that I [F]might teach [C]you
Take my arms that I [F]might reach [C]you"
But my [F]words like silent
raindrops [C]fell[F][C][Am]
And [C]echoed
In [G]the wells of si[F]lence
[Am]

[Verse 5]
And the people bowed [F]and [G]prayed
To the neon God they [Am]made
And [C]the sign flashed [F]it s warn[C]ing
In the words that it [F]was form[C]ing
And the sign said,
[F]"The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway [C]walls
And tenement [Am]halls"
And [C]whispered in [G]the sounds of si[C]lence
[Am]
