Sound Of Silence * - Simon & Gurfunkal

Am                      G
 Hello darkness, my old friend,
                             Am
I've come to talk with you a--gain,
          C             F         C
Because a vision softly  is creep--ing,
                          F         C
Left its seeds while I wa--as  sleep--ing,
        F                              C
And the  vision that was planted in my brain
         Am                G        Am
Still re--mains within the sound of  silence.
 
 
[Verse 2]
                              G
In restless dreams I walked a--lone
                         Am
Narrow streets of cobble--stone,
           C       F        C
'neath the halo of a street lamp,
                          F        C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        F                                         C
When my  eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
               Am                       G         Am
That split the  night - and touched the  sound of  silence.
 
 
[Verse 3]
                         G
And in the naked light I  saw
                           Am
Ten thousand people, maybe  more.
      C             F          C
People talking with--out speak--ing,
                    F    C
People hearing with--out listening,
               F                       C
People writing songs that voices never share
           Am                 G        Am
And no one dare,- disturb the sound of silence.
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
                         G
Fools said I, you do not  know
                      Am
Silence like a cancer  grows.
       C                F            C
Hear my words that I mi--ight  teach  you,
                       F             C
Take my arms that I mi--ight  reach  you.
       F                            C       Am 
But my  words like silent raindrops  fell,--
                   G         Am
And  echoed in the wells of   silence
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
                          G
And the people bowed and  prayed
                     Am
To the neon God they  made.
        C                F          C
And the sign flashed out it's  warn--ing,
                     F         C
In the words that it  was form--ing.
                       F                                                C
And the sign said, the  words of the prophets are written on the subway walls 
             Am                           G             Am
and tenement  halls. And whisper'd in the sounds **- of  silence.
