[Intro]
Em D/A Em
Em D/A Em
[Verse 1]
(Picked)
Em D/A
Hello darkness, my old friend
Em
I've come to talk with you again
C G
Because a vision softly creeping
Em C G
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
Em C Csus2 C G
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Em D/A Em
Still remains within the sound of silence
[Verse 2]
(Picked)
Em D/A
In restless dreams I walked alone
Em (Em - Em7 - Em)
Narrow streets of cobblestone
C G
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
Em C G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
C Csus2 C G
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Em G
That split the night
Em D/A Em
And touched the sound of silence
[Verse 3]
(Light strumming)
Em D/A
And in the naked light I saw
Em (Em - Em7 - Em)
Ten thousand people, maybe more
C G
People talking without speaking
Em C G
People hearing without listening
C Csus2 C G
People writing songs that voices never share
Em
And no one dare
D/A Em
Disturb the sound of silence
[Verse 4]
(Strum)
Em D/A
Fools said I, you do not know
Em (Em - Em7 - Em)
Silence like a cancer grows
C G
Hear my words that I might teach you
Em C G
Take my arms that I might reach to you
C Csus2 C G
But my words like silent raindrops fell
Em D/A Em
And echoed in the wells of silence
[Verse 5]
(Strum)
Em D/A
And the people bowed and prayed
Em (Em - Em7 - Em)
To the neon God they made
C G
And the sign flashed out it's warning
Em C G
And the words that it was forming
And the sign said
C Csus2 C G
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
Em
And tenement halls
D/A Em
And whispered in the sound of silence (Pick the last chord)
[Outro]
Em D/A Em
