Key:
Dm
Singer/Band:
Simon & Garfunkel
Capo 1 Intro [Dm]
Verse 1
[Dm]Hello darkness, my old [C]friend
[C]I've come to talk with you [Dm]again
[Dm]Because a vision [A#]softly, [F]creeping
[F]Left its seeds while I [A#]was, [F]sleeping
[F]And the [A#]vision, that was
[A#]planted in my [F]brain... still [F] [Dm]remains
[F]Within the [C]sound of [Dsus2]silence
Verse 2
[Dm]In restless dreams I walked [C]alone
[C]Narrow streets of cobble [Dm]stone
[Dm]'Neath the halo of [A#]a street [F]lamp
[F]I turned my collar to the [A#]cold and [F]damp
[F]When my [A#]eyes were stabbed by the [A#]flash of a neon [F]light
That split the [F] [Dm]night
[F]And touched the [C]sound, of [Dm]silence
Verse 3
[Dm]And in the naked light I [C]saw
[C]Ten thousand people maybe [Dm]more
[Dm]People talking with [A#]out [F]speaking
[F]People hearing with [A#]out liste [F]ning
[F]People writing [A#]songs, that [A#]voices never [F]shared
And no one [F] [Dm]dared
[F]Disturb the [C]sound, of [Dm]silence
Verse 4
[Dm]"Fools, " said I, "You do not [C]know
[C]Silence like a cancer [Dm]grows"
[Dm]Hear my words that I [A#]might teach [F]you
[F]Take my arms that I [A#]might reach [F]you"
[F]But my [A#]words, like [A#]silent raindrops [F]fell [F] [Dm]
[F]Echoed in the [C]wells, of [Dm]silence
Verse 5
[Dm]And the people bowed and [C]prayed
[C]To the neon god they [Dm]made
[Dm]And the sign flashed out [A#]its [F]warning
[F]In the words that it [A#]was [F]forming
[F]And the sign said, "The [A#]words of
the prophets are [A#]written on the subway [F]walls,
And tenement [F] [Dm]halls"
And [F]whispered in the [C]sounds, of [Dsus2]silence" [Dsus2] [Dm]
