Simon And Garfunkel - Sound Of Silenceadd

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