THE SOUND OF SILENCE CHORDS
[Verse] D Hello darkness my old friend Em I've come to talk with you again G C G Because a vision softly creeping C G Left its seeds while I was sleeping C G And the vision that was planted in my brain G Still remains Em D Em Within the sound of silence D In restless dreams I walked alone Em Narrow streets of cobblestone G C G 'neath the halo of a street lamp C G I turned my collar to the cold and damp C G When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light C Em That split the night ■ G D Em And touched the sound of silence D And in the naked light I saw Em Ten thousand people maybe more G C G People talking without speaking C G People hearing without listening C G People writing songs that voices never share Em No one dared D Em Disturb the sound of silence D Fools said I You do not know Em Silence like a cancer grows [Chorus] G C G Hear my words that I might teach you C G Take my arms that I might reach you C G But my words like silent raindrops fell Em G D Em ■ And echoed in the wells of silence D Em G C G C ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ G C G Em ■ ■ ■ ■ D Em And the ■ ■ [Outro]
