The Sound of Silence Chords by Simon & Garfunkel

[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                             D#m  
And the vision that was planted in my brain
D#m          
Still remains
           C#              
Within the sound of silence
D#m                         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                                             
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
     F#                 D#m
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#   
People writing songs that voices never share
             D#m
No one dared ■  
F#          C#       D#m    
Disturb the sound of silence


[Bridge]
                        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


[Chorus]
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


[Outro]
             D#m  
And tenement halls
F#                   C#        A#sus4  D#m
And whispered in the sounds of silence ■
