The Sound of Silence by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel

Tuning: EADGBE

Em            D
  Hello darkness, my old friend,
              Em
I've come to talk with you again,
         C   G
Because a vision soft creeping,
     Em       C   G
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
     C        C/G      G
And the vision that was planted in my brain
    Em
Still remains
       D    Em
Within the sound of silence.

 Em             D
In restless dreams I walked alone
            Em
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
 Em         C    G
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
       Em      C    G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
    C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon

G
light
        Em
That split the night
        D    Em
And touched the sound of silence.


Em             D
 And in the naked light I saw
              Em
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
Em        C    G
People talking without speaking,
Em          C    G
People hearing without listening,
         C            G
People writing songs that voices never share
      Em
And no one dare
       D    Em
Disturb the sound of silence.


Em             D
 Fools said i, you do not know
           Em
Silence like a cancer grows.
Em           C     G
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Em          C      G
Take my arms that I might reach you.
     C             G
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
   Em
And echoed
    D    Em
In the wells of silence


Em            D
 And the people bowed and prayed
           Em
To the neon God they made.
Em             C    G
 And the sign flashed out it's warning,
Em           C   G
In the words that it was forming.
     Em       C
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
    C          G
Are written on the subway walls
        Em
And tenement halls.
           D     Em
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
