Sound Of Silence Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

Dm Hello darkness, my old Cfriend

I've come to talk with you aDmgain

Because a vision softlA♯y creepFing

Left its seeds while I wA♯as sleepFing

And the A♯vision that was planted in my Fbrain

Still remains Dm - F

Within the Csound of Dmsilence

Verse 2

Verse 3

And in the naked light I Csaw

Ten thousand people, maybe Dmmore

People talking withA♯out speakFing

People hearing withA♯out listenFing

People writing A♯songs that voices never Fshare

And no one dared Dm - F

Disturb the Csound of Dmsilence

Verse 4

"Fools", said I, "You do not Cknow

Silence like a cancer Dmgrows

Hear my words that I mA♯ight teach Fyou

Take my arms that I mA♯ight reach Fyou"

But my A♯words, like silent raindrops Ffell Dm

And echoed

In the Cwells of Dmsilence

Verse 5

And the people bowed and Cprayed

To the neon god they Dmmade

And the sign flashed out A♯its warnFing

In the words that it wA♯as forFming

And the sign said, "The A♯words of the prophets are written on the subway Fwalls

And tenement halls" Dm

And Fwhispered in the Csounds of Dmsilence.
