Chords for Simon & Garfunkel - Sound Of Silence (1965)

_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Hello darkness [C] my old friend _ _ _
I've come to talk with [Dm] you again _
_ Because a [F] vision [Bb] softly creeping
[F] _
_ Left its seeds while [Bb] I was [F] sleeping
_ _ [Bb] And the vision that was planted in my [F] brain _ _
_ _ [D] Still [F] remains within [C] the sound _ [Dm] of silence _ _ _
And in the streets [C] I walk alone _ _ _
_ Narrow [Dm] streets of cobblestone _ _
Beneath [F] the halo [Bb] of a [F] street lamp
I turn my collar to [Bb] the cold [F] and damp
_ [Bb] When my eyes were stabbed [Gm] by the flash of a neon [F] light
That split the night [Dm] _ [F] _ and [C] touched the sound _ [Dm] of silence _ _
And in the naked [C] light I saw _
Ten thousand people [Dm] maybe more _ _
[F] People talking [Bb] without [F] speaking _
_ People hearing [Bb] [F] without listening
_ People [Bb] writing songs _
That voices never [F] share _
And no one [C] dare
[Dm] _ [F] _ _ [C] Disturb the sound [Dm] of silence _ _ _
Fools that I, [C] you do not know _ _
_ Silence like a [Dm] cancer grows _
Hear [F] my words that [Bb] I might [F] teach you
Take my arms that [Bb] I might [F] reach you
_ [Bb] But my words like silent [F] raindrops fell
The _ _
_ [Dm] _ [C] _ [F] _ _ rose [C] _
_ _ [Dm] of silence _ _ _
And the people [C] bowed and prayed _
To the [Dm] neon god they _ made
[F] And the sign [Bb] flashed [F] its warning _
In the words that [Bb] it was [F] forming _
_ And the sign [Bb] said the words of the prophets are written on the [F] subway walls
And tenement _ [Dm] [F] halls
And the spread _ [C] of sound
_ _ _ [G]
Of _ silence
[D] _ _ _ _
