Simon And Garfunkel - Sound Of Silenceadd

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