Simon And Garfunkel - Sound Of Silence Chords

[Verse 1]

Am  Am                          G       G                            Am
         Hello darkness, my old friend,  I've come to talk with you again,
  (Am 1,2          C 3, 4)   (F   C)      C                            (F   C)  
      Because a vision softly creeping,     Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
 (C)        F               F             C           (C    Am)
    And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains   
(C)            G        Am                                              
    Within the sound of silence.                                        
Am                              G        G                        Am
   In restless dreams I walked alone     narrow streets of cobblestone,
(Am 1,2,3          C 4)(F   C)        C                         (F   C)
  'Neath the halo of a street lamp,     I turned my collar to the cold and damp
(C)       F                        F               C                   (C   Am)
  When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night,
(C)               G        Am
  And touched the sound of silence.

[Verse 2]

 Am                         G       G                           Am
   And in the naked light I saw      ten thousand people, maybe more.
  (Am 1,2,3       C 4)    (F  C)     C                      (F   C)
   People talking without speaking,   People hearing without listening,
(C)        F                  F            C               (C   Am)
    People writing songs that voices never share And no one dare
 (C)           G        Am
   Disturb the sound of silence.


[Verse 3]

 Am                        G        G                      Am
  Fools said I, you do not know      Silence like a cancer grows.
 (Am 1,2,3       C 4)   (F   C)      C                         (F   C)
   Hear my words that I might teach you;    take my arms that I might reach you.
 (C)      F          F                C     (C  Am)       C            G         Am
   But my words like silent raindrops fell,         and echoed in the wells of silence.


[Verse 4]

Am                         G         G                     Am
  And the people bowed and prayed     to the neon God they made.
(Am 1,2,3       C 4)    (F  C)       C                        (F  C)
  And the sign flashed out it's warning,     in the words that it was forming.
C                          F                         F                     C
   And the sign said, 'The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
            (C     Am)   C                G         Am          Am
And tenement halls'. And whispered in the sounds of silence.
