Simon And Garfunkel - Sound Of Silenceadd

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