The Sound of Silence (Acoustic Version) Chords

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