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

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