The Sounds of Silence 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.
D#m remains F# within C# the sound D#m of G# silence.
_ _ D#m In restless dreams I C# walked alone, _ _ narrow streets of D#m cobblestone, _ _ _ .
beneath the hill B of a F# street lamp, _ I turned my collar to B the cold F# and damp.
_ .
B When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon F# light,.
the swift and _ .
D#m night F# _ C# touched the sound _ D#m of silence.
_ _ And in the naked C# light I saw, _ _ ten thousand people and D#m maybe more.
_ _ .
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#m _ _ F# _ C# this beautiful sound of _ _ D#m silence.
_ _ The cruel said I do C# not know, _ _ silence is like a D# cancer grow.
_ D#m _ _ .
Hear my words B that I might teach F# you, _ take my arms B that I might reach F# you.
But B my _ words, like silent _ F# raindrops fell, _ _ _ _ D#m _ .
F# the echo _ _ C# of _ .
_ _ D#m silence.
_ _ _ .
D# And the people C# bowed and prayed, _ _ to the neon D#m god they _ made.
_ .
And the sign B flashed out its F# warning, _ in the words B that it was F# forming.
_ .
And the sign said B the words of the prophets are written on the subway F# walls.
And tenement D#m halls _ F# _ _ whispered C# in the sound _ _ _ D# of silence.
_ _ _ A#m _ _ D#m _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
