Simon And Garfunkel - Sound Of Silenceadd

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