The Sound Of Silence Chords

[Verse 1]
Am                    G
Hello darkness, my old friend
                         Am
I've come to talk with you again
          C             F   C
Because a vision softly creeping
Am       C                 F   C
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
        F                             C
And the vision that was planted in my brain
G        Am              C        Am
Still remains within the sound of silence
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am                           G
In restless dreAms I walked alone
                         Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone
           C          F     C
'Neath the halo of a street lAmp
Am          C             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
     G         Am                    C         Am
That split the night and touched the sound of silence
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am                       G
And in the naked light I saw
                           Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more
       C               F   C
People talking without speaking
Am     C               F    C
People hearing without listening
         F                             C
People writing songs that voices never shared
    G      Am                C        Am
And no one dared disturb the sound of silence
 
 
[Verse 4]
Am                          G
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
                      Am
Silence like a cancer grows
        C               F        C
Hear my words that I might teach you
Am      C              F        C
Take my arms that I might reach you"
       F                           C       Am
But my words like silent raindrops fell
                  C        Am
And echoed in the wells of silence
 
 
[Verse 5]
Am                       G
And the people bowed and prayed
                     Am
To the neon God they made
        C                 F     C
And the sign flashed out its warning
Am     C              F     C
In the words that it was forming
                       F                                               C
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
     G       Am                         C        Am
And tenement halls and whispered in the sound of silence"
