THE SOUND OF SILENCE CHORDS
[Start] [Verse] N.C. Hello darkness my old friend N.C. I've come to talk with you again N.C. Because a vision softly creeping N.C. Left its seeds while I was sleeping D Gbm And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains Gbm Within the sound of silence E In restless dreams I walked alone Gbm Narrow streets of cobblestone D 'neath the halo of the streetlamp A D ■ I turned my collar to the cold and damp D When my eyes were stabbed D By the flash of a neon light A That split the night E ■ And touched the sound E Of silence [Chorus] E And in the naked light I saw Gb7 Ten thousand people maybe more ■ A7 People talking without speaking A7 People hearing without listening A7 People writing songs A7 That voices never share A And no one dared E Disturb the sound Gbm D Dmaj7 Of silence ■ ■ D G Fools said I you do not know B Silence like a cancer grows G D7 Hear my words that I might teach you G7 G G7 Take my arms that I might reach you G7 But my words like silent raindrops fell G7 And echoed in the wells G7 Of silence G7 And the people bowed and prayed A7 A B To the neon god they made Gbm G And the sign flashed out its warning G G7 G D In the words that it was forming ■ G7 And the sign said the words of the prophets G Db7 Are written on the subway walls ■ Db7 And tenement halls [End] N.C. And whispered in the sound N.C. Of silence
