Simon And Garfunkel - Sound Of Silenceadd

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