Chords for The Royal Turns - The Sound of Silence (Cover)

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