Chords for The Sounds of Silence

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ This is a song about the inability of people to communicate with each other, and not particularly
internationally, but especially emotionally, [D] so that what you see around you is people
who are unable to love each other.
This is called The Sounds of Silence.
[E] _ _ _ _ Hello darkness my [C] old friend.
_ I've come to talk with [Dm] you again.
_ Because [G] a vision softly _ [F] creeping, left its seeds while I [G] was sleeping. _
[Bb] And the vision [Gm] that was planted in [F] my brain, still remains [D] _ within [C] the sounds [Dm] of silence.
_ In restless dreams I [C] walked alone, _ _ narrow streets [Dm] of cobblestone.
_ _ Near the hill of a [F] street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp.
[Bb] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F] light, that split the night.
_ [G] And [C] touched the sounds [D] of silence.
_ And in the naked light [C] I saw, ten thousand people, [D] maybe more.
_ People talking without [F] speaking, _ people hearing [G] without listening.
People writing [Bb] songs that voices [G] never share, no one dare _ _ [C] disturb the sounds [Dm] of silence.
_ _ Fools that I [C] do not know, _ _ silence like [Dm] a cancer grows.
_ _ [F] Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you.
[Bb] But my words like silent [F] raindrops fell, _ _ _ _ _ in _ [C] _
_ [D] the silence.
_ _ And the people [C] bowed and prayed, _ to the [Dm] neon god they made.
_ And the sign flashed its [F] warning, _ in the words that it was forming.
_ And the sign said the words of [Bb] the prophets are written on the subway [F] walls, and tenement halls.
