THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE CHORDS
[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# D#m And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains C# D#m Within the sound of silence C# In restless dreams I walked alone 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# D#m When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night ■ 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# D#m People writing songs that voices never shared and 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 [Chorus] 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 F# And the sign said The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls [Outro] D#m F# C# D#m And whispered in the sound of silence
