The Sound Of Silence chords (version 1)
Simon and Garfunkel *
Capo I
Dm C Dm
Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you again.
F Bb F
Because a vision softly creeping,
Bb F
left its seeds while I was sleeping
Bb F
And the vision that was planted in my brain,
Dm F C Dm
still remains, within the sound of silence.
Dm C Dm
In restless dreams I walked alone through narrow streets of cobblestone.
F Bb F
Beneath the halo of a street lamp,
Bb F
I turned my collar to the cold and damp.
Bb F
When my eyes were stabbed by a flash of the neon light,
Dm F C Dm
and split the night, and touched the sound of silence.
Dm C Dm
And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people maybe more.
F Bb F
People talking without speaking,
Bb F
people hearing without listening.
Bb F
People writing songs that voices never shared,
Dm F C Dm
no one dared, disturb the sound of silence.
Dm C Dm
"Fools," said I, "you do not know, silence like a cancer grows.
F Bb F
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Bb F
take my arms that I might reach you."
Bb F
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
Dm C Dm
echoed in the wells of silence.
Dm C Dm
And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made.
F Bb F
And the sign flashed out it s warning,
Bb F
in the words that it was forming. And the sign said:
Bb F
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls;
Dm F C Dm
and tenement halls," and whispered the sounds of silence.
