Sound Of Silence Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Hello darkness my old frie[D]nd
I've come to talk with you [Em]again
Because a vision [C]softly creeping
[G]Left it's seeds while I w[C]as sleeping[Em]
[G]And the vis[C]ion that was planted
in my [G]brain
Still remain[Em]s
[G]Within the [D]sound of si[Em]lence
In restless [G]dreams I walked [D]alone

[Verse 2]
Narrow streets of cobble[Em]stone
'Neath the halo [G]of [C]a
[G]street lamp
I turned my collar to the [C]cold
and [Bm]damp[Em]
[G]When my eye[C]s were stabbed
by the flash of a neon [G]light
That split the [Em]night
And [G]touched [D]the sound of si[Em]lence

[Verse 3]
And [Em]in the n[G]aked light I[D] saw
Ten thousand people may[Em]be more
People [G]talking [Bm]without [C]speaking[Bm]
[G]People hearing wit[C]hout listening[G]
People writing [C]songs that
voices never shared
[G]And no one dar[Em]ed
[G]Disturb the [D]sound of si[Em]lence
Fools said I [G]you do

[Verse 4]
[D]not know
Silence like a cancer [Em]grows
Hear my [G]words [C]that I might teach [Bm]you
[G]Take my arms tha[Bm]t I might rea[C]ch you[G]
But my [C]words like silent
raindrops [G]fell[Em]
[G]And echoed in the [D]wells of [Em]silence

[Verse 5]
And the [G]people bowed an[D]d prayed
To the neon god they [Em]made
And the [G]sign flashed [Bm]out i[C]ts warni[Bm]ng[G]
In the words [C]that it was forming
[G]Then the [C]sign said the words are written
on the subway [G]walls
In tenement [Em]halls
[G]And [D]whispered in the silence
[Em]
