Sound Of Silence Chords by Nick & Simon

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ Hello darkness [D] my old friend, _ _ [D] _ I've come to talk [Em] with you again
_ _ _ Because a vision [C] softly [Em] creeping, [G] _ _ left its seeds [C] while I was [G] sleeping
And [C] the vision _ that was planted in [G] my brain _
Still [Em] remains _ [G] _ [D] within the _ sound [Em] of silence _
In restless dreams [D] I walked alone, _ _ narrow streets [Em] of cobblestone
_ Meet _ the [C] halo of a [G] street lamp, I turned my color [C] to the [G] cold and damp
When [C] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [G] neon light
_ Split the [Em] night [G] and [D] touched the sound [Em] of silence
_ _ And in the naked [D] light I saw, ten thousand people [Em] maybe more
_ People talking [C]
without [G] speaking, _ people hearing [C]
without [G] listening
_ People writing [C] _
_ _ songs that voices never [G] _
shared
And no one [Em] dared _ [G] _
[D] disturb the _ sound [Em] of silence
_ _ Fools that I [D] do not _ know, silence like [Em] a cancer grow
_ Hear my words [C] that I might [G] teach you, _ take my heart [C] that I might [G] preach you
_ [C] But my words like silent brain [G] drafts fell _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] Echoed in the wells [Em] of silence _ _
And the people [D] bowed and prayed, _ _ to the neon [Em] god they made
And the sign [C] flashed out its [G] warning, _ in the words [C] they were [G] asforming _ _
And the sign [C] said the words of the prophet Siren on the subway [G] walls
In tenement [Em] halls, [G] and _ _ [D] whispered in the _ sounds [Em] of silence _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
