I was able to transpose the song so that it works with the Pentatonix version, but I'mt not exactly sure if
the chord timing matches exactly with them.
[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
G/F# Em
Still remains
G D Em
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
G/F# Em
That split the night
G D Em
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
G/F# Em
And no one dare
G D Em
Disturb the sound of silence.
[Verse 4]
Am G
Fools said I, you do not know
Am
Silence like a cancer grows.
F C
Hear my words that I might teach you,
F C
Take my arms that I might reach you.
F F
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
C
And echoed
G Am
In the wells of silence
[Verse 5]
G
And the people bowed and prayed
Am
To the neon God they made.
F C
And the sign flashed out its warning,
F C
In the words that it was forming.
F
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
C
Are written on the subway walls
C
And tenement halls.
C G Am
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
