The Sound Of Silence Chords & Tabs
The Sound Of Silence Chords
Intro: Dm
C Dm
Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again,
F Bb F Bb F
Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping,
Bb F Dm F
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains,
C Dm
Within the sound of silence.
Dm C Dm
In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone,
F Bb F Bb F
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
Bb F Dm F
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night,
C Dm
And touched the sound of silence.
Dm C Dm
And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more,
F Bb F Bb F
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening,
Bb F Dm F
People writing songs that voices never share, and no one dare,
C Dm
Disturb the sound of silence.
Dm C Dm
"Fools!" said I, "You do not know, silence like a cancer grows."
F Bb F Bb F
"Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you."
Bb F Dm F C Dm
But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence.
C Dm
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made,
F Bb F Bb F
And the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming,
Bb
And the signs said "The words of the prophets are written
F Dm
On the subway walls, and tenement halls"
F C Dm
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
