The Sound Of Silence Ukulele - Simon & Garfunkel [Verse 1] Dm C Hello darkness, my old friend Dm I've come to talk with you again Bb F Because a vision softly creeping Bb F Left its seeds while I was sleeping Bb F And the vision that was planted in my brain Dm Still remains F C Dm Within the sound* of silence [Verse 2] C In restless dreams I walked alone Dm Narrow streets of cobblestone Bb F 'neath the halo of a street lamp Bb F I turned my collar to the cold and damp Bb F When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light Dm That split the night F C Dm And touched the sound* of silence [Verse 3] C And in the naked light I saw Dm Ten thousand people, maybe more Bb F People talking without speaking Bb F People hearing without listening Bb F People writing songs that voices never share Dm And no one dare F C Dm Disturb the sound* of silence [Verse 4] C "Fools", said I, "You do not know Dm Silence like a cancer grows Bb F Hear my words that I might teach you Bb F Take my arms that I might reach you" Bb F Dm But my woooooords like silent raindrops fell F C Dm And echoed in the wells* of silence [Verse 5] C And the people bowed and prayed Dm To the neon god they made Bb F And the sign flashed out its warning Bb F In the words that it was forming Bb And the sign said, "The words of the prophets F Are written on the subway walls Dm And tenement halls" F C Dm And whispered in the sounds* of silence Dm
