The Sounds of Silence Chords by Simon & Garfunkel

[Start]

[Intro]
Bbsus4 Eb Ebm N.C.                        
■      ■  ■   Hello darkness my old friend
N.C.                            
I've come to talk with you again


[Verse]
Ebm              B      Ebm      Gb
Because a vision softly creeping ■ 
                       B            Gb
Left its seeds while I was sleeping ■ 
        B                             Gb          Ebm    
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
           Db       Ebm    
Within the sound of silence
                   Ebm      Db   
In restless dreams I walked alone
                  Ebm        
Narrow streets of cobblestone
                   B        Gb  
'neath the halo of a street lamp
                          B        Gb  
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        B                                        Gb                         Ebm
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night ■  
Gb                 Db       Ebm    
■  And touched the sound of silence
                       Db   
And in the naked light I saw
                          Eb   Ebm
Ten thousand people maybe more ■  
               B                Gb
People talking without speaking ■ 
               Ebm     Gb       
People hearing without listening
               B                       Gb                      Ebm
People writing songs that voices never shared and no one dared ■  


[Chorus]
Gb         Db           Ebm    
■  Disturb the sound of silence
                        Db  
Fools said I You do not know
                      Eb   
Silence like a cancer grows
        Ebm          B           Gb 
Hear my words that I might teach you
                    B           Ebm Gb
Take my arms that I might reach you ■ 
    B                              Ebm 
But my words like silent raindrops fell


[Verse]
Gb                Fm    Dbmaj7 Ebm    
And echoed in the wells of     silence
                     Db        
And the people bowed and prayed
                     Eb   Ebm
To the neon god they made ■  


[Chorus]
                     B       Gb     
And the sign flashed out its warning
                     B   Gb     
In the words that it was forming
                      B                                               Gb        Ebm           
And the sign said The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls


[Outro]
Bbm              Db  Dbmaj7 Db Bbm7 Bbm Bbsus4  Eb
And whispered in the sound  ■  ■    of  silence ■ 


[End]
