The Sound Of Silence Ukulele Chords

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