Sound Of Silence * - Simon & Gurfunkal
Am G
Hello darkness, my old friend,
Am
I've come to talk with you a--gain,
C F C
Because a vision softly is creep--ing,
F C
Left its seeds while I wa--as sleep--ing,
F C
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Am G Am
Still re--mains within the sound of silence.
[Verse 2]
G
In restless dreams I walked a--lone
Am
Narrow streets of cobble--stone,
C F C
'neath the halo of a street lamp,
F C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
F C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Am G Am
That split the night - and touched the sound of silence.
[Verse 3]
G
And in the naked light I saw
Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
C F C
People talking with--out speak--ing,
F C
People hearing with--out listening,
F C
People writing songs that voices never share
Am G Am
And no one dare,- disturb the sound of silence.
[Verse 4]
G
Fools said I, you do not know
Am
Silence like a cancer grows.
C F C
Hear my words that I mi--ight teach you,
F C
Take my arms that I mi--ight reach you.
F C Am
But my words like silent raindrops fell,--
G Am
And echoed in the wells of silence
[Verse 5]
G
And the people bowed and prayed
Am
To the neon God they made.
C F C
And the sign flashed out it's warn--ing,
F C
In the words that it was form--ing.
F C
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
Am G Am
and tenement halls. And whisper'd in the sounds **- of silence.
