Simon And Garfunkel - Sound Of Silenceadd

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