Sound of silence Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Hell[Asus4]o[Am]
darkness my old [G]friend,
I've come to talk with [Am]you again
[Asus4]Because a v[Am]ision softly creeping[F]
[C]Left [Am]its seeds[G] while I was s[F]leeping
[C]And the vis[F]ion that was
planted in my brain
[C]Still re[Am]mains within the
sound [G]of si[Am]lence[Asus4]
[Am]In restless dreams I walked al[G]one
Narrow streets of cobble[Am]stone
[Asus4]Meet the [Am]halo of a street la[G]mp[F]
[C]I t[Am]urned my color [G]to the golde[F]n damp
[C]When my eye[F]s were stabbed
by the flash of a neon light
[C]Tha[G]t spl[C]it the nig[Am]ht
And touched the sound
[G]of [Am]si le[Asus4]nce
[Am]And in the naked light
I [G]saw 10 ,000 people, maybe [Am]more
People talking [G]without [F]speaking[C]
People hearing without [F]listening
[C]People wri[F]ting songs
that voices never share
[C]And n[Em]o one[Bsus4] dared d[Am]isturb
the [G]sound of [Am]silence
Fool said I, you do not [G]know,
silence like a cancer [Am]grows.
Hear my words that [G]I might [F]tea[C]ch you,
[Am]take my [G]arms [F]that I might reach you.
[C]But my [F]words like silent
raindrops [C]fell[G][Am]
And [C]echoed [G]in the wells of si [Am]lenc[Asus4]e
[Am]And the people bowed and p[G]rayed
to the neon god they [Am]made[Asus4]
[Am]And the sign flashed o[G]ut i[F]t s warning
[C]in the words [F]that it was forming
[C]And the signs and the
[F]words of the prophets
are written on the subway [C]walls[G][Am]
And whispered in [G]the sounds of [Am]silence.
