Simon And Garfunkel - Sound Of Silenceadd

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