The Sound Of Silence chords by Bob Dylan
Verse 1
Am
G
Hel lo darkness my old friend,
Am
I've come to talk with you again
C
F
C
Because a vision softly creeping,
F
C
left its seeds while I was sleeping
F
And the vision that was planted
C
in my brain, still remains
Am
C
G
Am
Within the sound of silence
G
There used to be a walkway
Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone
C
F
If a halo of a street lamp
C
F
C
I'd turn my collar to the cold and damp
F
When my eyes were stared
C
Am
C
G
Am
by the flash of a neon light
And in the naked light
G
Am
I saw 10 ,000 people, maybe more
C
F
People talking without speaking
C
F
People hearing without listening
C
F
People writing songs
C
that voices never share
Am
C
And no one dared to stir
G
F
Am
the sound of silence
F
Am
G
Fool said I, you do not know
Am
C
Silence like a cancer grows
Am
C
F
Give my words that I might teach you
C
F
Take my arms that I might reach you
C
F
But my words,
C
Am
like silent raindrops, will
C
G
Am
Grow in the wells of silence
G
And the people bowed and prayed
Am
C
F
C
F
C
F
And the sign said, words of the prophets are
C
written on the subway walls, and gentlemen
Am
C
And whispered in
G
Bm
the sounds of silence.
Am
