The Sound of Silence (Electric Version) Chords

[D#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] [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 in my [F#] brain, _ still [A#m]
remains, [D#m] _ [F#] _ [C#] within the sound _
[D#m] of silence.
_ _ In restless dreams I [C#] walked alone, _ _ _ narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone. _ _ _
Near the hill [B] of a [F#] street lamp, _ I turned my collar to [B] the [F#] cold and damp. _
[B] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light.
I split the night [D#m] and [F#] _ [C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence.
_ _ And in the [G#m] naked [C#] light I saw, _ ten thousand people [D#] maybe more.
_ _ [D#m] _
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, _ _ people hearing [B] without [F#] listening. _
People writing [B] _ songs that voices never [F#] share.
No one there, [D#] _ _ [F#] just [C#] the beautiful sound _ [D#m] of silence. _ _ _
Fools that [A#m] I do not know, _ [C#] _
silence like a [D#] cancer grows.
_ [D#m] _
Hear my words that [B] I might [F#] teach you, _ take my arms [B] that I might [D#m] reach you.
[B] But my words, like silent _
[F#] raindrops fell, _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
[F#] and _ _ [C#] echoed the whims [D#m] of silence.
_ _ [D#] And the [C#] people bowed and prayed, _ _ 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.
_ And tenement halls [D#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ whispered [C#] the _ sounds _ [D#] of silence.
_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
