This is a great American tune written by a native New Yorker, Paul Simon.
And there's a lot happening in New York right now.
And if we all don't encourage each other to bunker down,
then it might happen all over this country.
So don't be silent.
Encourage your friends and loved ones to stay indoors.
This is a Paul Simon song called The Sound of Silence, dedicated to New York.
[B] [B]
[D] Hello darkness my old [G] friend
I have come to talk with [Am] you again
Because a vision softly [C] creeping
Left its seeds while I [G] was [C] sleeping
The [G] vision that was planted in [C] my brain
Still [Am] remains [G] within the sound [Am] of silence
Restless dreams I walked [G] along
Narrow streets of [Am] cobblestone
Beneath the halo [F] of a golden [C] lamp
I turned my collar to [G] the cold [C] and damp
When my [F] eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split [Am] the night
[C] and touched the [G] sound of [Am] silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking [G] without [C] speaking
People hearing [F] without [C] listening
People [F] writing songs
That voices [C] never shared
No [Am] one dared [C] disturb [G] the sound [Am] of silence
Fools said I do not know
Silence like a cancer [F#] [Am] grove
Hear my words that I [F] might teach [C] you
Take my arms [G] that I might reach you
But [F] my [G] words like silent [C] raindrops fell
[Am]
[G] Echoed [Am] in the silence
And the people bowed [G] and prayed
To the neon gods they made
And the sign flashed out [F] its warning
[C] With the words that it [F] was [C] forming
And the sign [F] said the words of the prophets
Are written on the [C] subway walls
And tenement [Am] halls
[C] [G] Whispered in the sound of
[E] silence
[B] [Bm]
