Chords for The Sound of Silence (Cover) Colm R. McGuinness

_ _ _ Hello, darkness, my [F#] old _ [B] friend. _
I've come to talk with [C#m] you _ again.
_ _ Because a vision [A] softly [E] creeping, _ _ _ left its seeds while I [A] was sleeping. _ _
And [A] the vision _ that was planted in [E] my brain _ [C#m] still remains.
_ _ [E] Within [B] the _ sound [C#m] of _ silence _ and restless dreams I [F#] once _ _ alone.
_ [B] Narrow streets of [C#m] _ _
cobblestone, _ _ with the halo [A] of a _ [E] streetlight.
_ I turned my collar to [A] the cold and [E] dark. _
When [A] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [E] _
light.
[F#] That [C#m] spared the [E] night and [B] touched the sound _ [C#m] of _ _ [C#] silence.
And [E] in the naked light [B] I saw _ _ ten thousand people, [C#m] maybe _ more.
_ People talking [A] without [E] speaking. _
_ _ People hearing without [A] _ listening. _ _
People [A] writing songs that voices _ never [E] share.
_ And [C#m] no one [E] dared _ _ [B] disturb the sound _ [C#m] of _ _ silence.
[C#] _ Those that I do [B] not know, _ _ _ _ silence like a [C#m] cancer [G#] _ _ grows.
[G#m] Hear my words that I [A] might [E] teach you.
_ Take my arms that I [A] might reach [E] _ _ you.
But [A] my words placed in a _ [E] box, and _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ their [B] code in a well _ [C#m] of silence.
_ _ _ [E] And the people thought [B] _ _ _ _ _
to the neon [C#] card they emerged.
_ [C#m] _ And the sight flashing [A] in a [E] swirl _ _ _ in the wilds that _
[A] _ _ _ _ night.
And the silence [A] that the birds _ sung, _ _ _
_ [E] _ lost and dead and [C#m] burned for.
[E] A _ _ [C#m] moose [B] fight _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[C#] of silence. _ _ _
