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