Simon And Garfunkel - Sound Of Silenceadd

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