Simon And Garfunkel - Sound Of Silenceadd

Intro: Am
                        G                                   Am
Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again,
           C             F   C                               F   C
Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping,
        F                              C                    Am     C
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains,
            G          Am
Within the sound of silence.
Am                           G                               Am
In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone,
                C      F     C                              F        C
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
         F                                        C               Am  C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night,
                 G       Am
And touched the sound of silence.
Am                        G                              Am
And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more,
                C        F  C                           F    C
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening,
        F                               C                    Am C
People writing songs that voices never share, and no one dare,
             G       Am
Disturb the sound of silence.
Am                             G                            Am
"Fools!" said I, "You do not know, silence like a cancer grows."
                    C        F    C                              F    C
"Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you."
        F                          C Am        C            G      Am
But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence.
                            G                         Am
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made,
                      C       F  C                            F   C
And the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming,
                         F
And the signs said "The words of the prophets are written
                C                         Am
On the subway walls, and tenement halls"
      C                 G       Am
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
