Chords for Simon & Garfunkel - The Sounds of Silence (Audio)

_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, _ _ I've come to talk with [D#m] you again _ _
Because a vision softly [F#] creeping, _ _ left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping
_ [B] And the vision that was [B] planted in [F#] my brain, _ still [A#m] remains
[D#m] _ Within [C#] the sound _ of [A#] silence
_ _ [D#m] In restless dreams [C#] I walked along, _ _ _ narrow streets of [D#] cobblestone
[D#m] _ _ _
Beneath the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp, _ I turned my collar to [B] the cold [F#] and damp
_ [B] When my eyes were spelt by the flash of a neon [F#] light
_ Split the night, _ _ [C#] and touched the sound _ [D#m] of silence
_ _ And in the naked [C#] light I saw, _ _ ten thousand people [D#] maybe [D#m] more _ _
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, _ _ people [B] hearing without [F#] listening _
_ People writing [B] _ songs, that voices never [F#] share
No one [D#m] dared, _ _ [F#] disturb [C#] the sound _ [D#m] of silence _ _ _
Fools say I [C#] do not _ know, _ silence like [D#m] a cancer grows _ _
Hear my words [B] that I might [F#] teach you, take my arms that I might reach you
But [B] my _ words, like silent _ [F#] raindrops fell, _ _ _ _ _ _ and _ echoed [C#] the wills [D#m] of silence
_ And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, _ _ _ to the neon [D#m] god they made _ _
And the sign [B] flashed out its [F#] warning, _ in the [B] words that it was [F#] for me
And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] walls
And tenement [D#m] halls, _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[C#] whispered the sound _ _ [G#] of [F] silence
_ _ _ [A#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
