The Sound Of Silence chords by Paul Simon
Verse 1
Am
G
Hello darkness, my old friend
Am
I've come to talk with you again
C
F
Because a vision softly creeping
C
F
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
C
F
And the vision that was
C
planted in my brain
Am
Still remains
C
G
Am
Within the sound of silence
Verse 2
Am
G
In restless dreams I walked alone
F
Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone
C
F
C
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
F
C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
F
When my eyes were stabbed by
C
the flash of a neon light
F
C
Am
That split the night
C
G
Am
And touched the sound of silence
Verse 3
Am
F
G
And in the naked light I saw
Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more
C
F
People talking without speaking
C
F
C
People hearing without listening
F
People writing songs that
C
voices never share
Am
And no one dare
C
G
F
Am
Disturb the sound of silence
F
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Verse 4
G
F
C
Am
C
Am
Silence like a cancer grows
C
F
C
Hear my words that I might teach you
F
C
Take my arms that I might reach you"
F
But my words like silent
C
F
C
Am
raindrops fell
C
And echoed
G
F
In the wells of silence
Am
Verse 5
F
G
And the people bowed and prayed
Am
To the neon God they made
C
F
C
And the sign flashed its warning
F
C
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said,
F
"The words of the prophets
C
Are written on the subway walls
Am
And tenement halls"
C
G
C
And whispered in the sounds of silence
Am
The Sound Of Silence
