The Sound Of Silence

Simon & Garfunkel

  S1:
  Hello darkness, my old friend  

  I've come to talk with you again 

  Because a vision softly-y creeping 

  Left its seeds while I wa-as sleeping and the vision 

  That was planted in my brain, still remains  

  Within the sound of silence
• AmiGGAmiAmiFCCFCFCCAmiCGAmi
  S2:
  In restless dreams I walked alone 

  Narrow streets of cobblestone 

  'Neath the halo of a-a street lamp 

  I turned my collar to the cold and damp 

  When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light  

  That split the night  

  and touched the sound of silence
• AmiGGAmiAmiCFCCFCCFCCAmiCGAmi
  S3:
  And in the naked light I saw 

  Ten thousand people, maybe more 

  People talking witho-out speaking 

  People hearing witho-out listening 

  People writing songs that voices never share 

  And no one dared  

  Disturb the sound of silence
• AmiGGAmiAmiCFCCFCFCAmiCGAmi
  S4:
  Fools said I, you do not know 

  Silence like a cancer grows 

  Hear my words that I mi-ight teach you 

  Take my arms that I mi-ight reach you 

  But my words like silent raindrops fell  

  And echoed in the wells of silence
• AmiGGAmiAmiCFCCFCCFCCAmiCGAmi
  S5:
  And the people bowed and prayed 

  To the neon God they made 

  And the sign flashed out i-it's warning 

  In the words that it wa-as forming 

  And the signs said, The words of the prophets 

  Are written on the subway walls 

  And tenement halls'  

  and whispered in the sound of silence....
