THE SOUND OF SILENCE

SIMON & GARFUNKEL

G
Capo : th
6 fret And in the naked light I saw
Am
Intro : Asus4 Ten thousand people, maybe more
C F C
G People talking without speaking
Hello darkness, my old friend F C
Am People hearing without listening
I've come to talk with you again F
C F C People writing songs
Because a vision softly creeping C
F C that voices never share
Left its seeds while I was sleeping C/B Am
F And no one dared
And the vision that was planted C G Am
C Disturb the sound of silence
in my brain
C/B Am
Still remains
C G Asus2 Am G
Within the sound of silence Fools, said I, you do not know
Am
Silence like a cancer grows
G C F C
In restless dreams I walked alone Hear my words that I might teach you
Am F C
Narrow streets of cobblestone Take my arms that I might reach you
C F C F
'Neath the halo of a street lamp But my words, like silent
F C C/B Am
I turned my collar to the cold raindrops fell
C C G Am
and damp And echoed in the wells of silence
F
When my eyes were stabbed
C
by the flash of a neon light
C/B Am
That split the night
C G Am
And touched the sound of silence
G
And the people bowed and prayed
Am
To the neon god they made
C F C
And the sign flashed out its warning
F C
In the words that it was forming
F
And the sign said: "The words of the

Prophets are written

C
on the subway walls
C/B Am
And tenement halls
C G
And whispered in the sounds of
Asus2
silence".
