The sound of silence
by Simon and Garfunkel
chords: simonpalawan
Dm
C
Hello darkness, my old friend
Dm
I've come to talk with you again
Bb F
Because a vision softly creeping
Bb F
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
Bb F
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Dm
Still remains
C Dm
Within the sound of silence
C
In restless dreams, I walked alone
Dm
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Bb F
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
Bb F
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
Bb
When my eyes were stabbed
F
by the flash of a neon light
Dm
That split the night
C Dm
And touched the sound of silence
C
And in the naked light, I saw
Dm
Ten thousand people, maybe more
Bb F
People talking without speaking
Bb F
People hearing without listening
Bb F
People writing songs that voices never shared
Dm
And no one dared
C Dm
Disturb the sound of silence
C
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Dm
Silence like a cancer grows
Bb F
Hear my words that I might teach you
Bb F
Take my arms that I might reach you"
Bb F Dm
But my words, like silent raindrops fell hmm
F C Dm
And echoed in the wells of silence
C
And the people bowed and prayed
Dm
To the neon god they made
Bb F
And the sign flashed out its warning
Bb F
In the words that it was forming
Bb
Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets
F
are written on the subway walls
Dm -
In tenement halls"...
F slowly C pause Dm -
And whispered in the sound of silence
