The Sound Of Silence Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bm]Hello darkness, my old f[A]riend
I've come to talk with you [Bm]again
Because a vision [D]softly [G]creeping
[D]Left its seeds while I was[G] sleeping[D]
And [G]the vision that was planted in my [D]brain
[G]Still re[D]mains[Bm]
[D]Within the[A] sound of silen[Bm]ce
In restless dreams I [D]walked [A]alone
Narrow streets of cobble[Bm]stone
'Neath the halo of [G]a street l[D]amp
I turned my collar to [G]the cold and [D]damp
When my [G]eyes were stabbed by
the flash of a neon [D]light
[G]That split the [D]night[Bm]
[D]And touched the[A] sound of silen[Bm]ce
And in the naked light [A]I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe [Bm]more
People talking [G]without [D]speaking
People hearing [G]without [D]listening
People [G]writing songs that
voices never [D]share
And no one [Bm]dared
[D]Disturb the[A] sound of silen[Bm]ce
"Fools" said I, "You do not [A]know
Silence like a cancer [Bm]grows
Hear my words that I might
[G]teach you[D]
Take my arms that I [G]might reach [D]you"
But [G]my words like silent raindrops
[D]fell[G][D][Bm]
Echoed
[D]In the wel[A]ls of silen[Bm]ce
And the people bowed and [A]prayed
To the neon god they [Bm]made
And the sign flashed [G]it s warn[D]ing
In the words that it [G]was [D]forming
And the sign said,
[G]"The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway [D]walls
And [G]tenement [D]halls
[Bm]Whis[D]pered in t[A]he sounds of silence[Bm]"[A][Bm]
[G][D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D][Bm][D][A][Bm]
And in the naked light [A]I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe [Bm]more
People talking [G]without speak[D]ing
People hearing [G]without listen[D]ing
People [G]writing songs that
voices never [D]share
And [G]no one [D]dared[Bm]
[D]Disturb the[A] sound of silen[Bm]ce
