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                                  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 ■
