Song: The Sound Of Silence
By:   Simon & Garfunkel

{ capo 6 fret }

[intro:]   |Asus2 | 

[verse: 1]
|Am                       |G        |G
   Hello darkness, my old friend,
                           |Am      |Am
I've come to talk with you again,
                        |F    C    |C
Because a vision softly cree__ping,
                      |F     C       |C {two beats}
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
       |F              |              |C
And the vision that was planted in my brain
           / /  /  /      {beats}
         |C    Am   |       { walk down bass A G F }
Still remains
 {two beats}
|C          |G       |Asus2   |Am      
 Within the sound of silence
 
[verse: 2]
                            |G       |G
In restless dreams I walked alone
                        |Am         |Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
                     |F       C   |C
'neath the halo of a street lamp,
                          |F        C   | C  {two beats}
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        |F                      |                |C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
                 |C    Am  |
That split the night     and
 {two beats}
|C           |G       |Asus2     |Am     
 Touched the sound of silence
 
[verse: 3]
                        |G       |G
And in the naked light I saw
                           |Am    |Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more
                  |F       C    |C
People talking without speaking
                  |F        C    |C  {four beats}
People hearing without listening
               |F           |         |C
People writing songs that voices never share
           |C   Am  |
And no one dare
 {two beats}
|C         |G        |Am
Disturb the sound of silence

 
[verse: 4]
                         |G      |G
Fools said I, you do not know 
                      Am       |Am
Silence like a cancer grows
                     |F           C  |C
Hear my words that I might teach you
                   |F           C    |C  {two beats}
Take my arms that I might reach you
       |F           |              |C    Am    |
But my words like silent raindrops fell,   and
   {four beats}
|C             |G       |Asus2     |Am    
 Echoed In the wells of silence
 
[verse: 5]
                         |G       |G 
And the people bowed and prayed
                     Am    |Am
To the neon God they made
                         |F      C    |C
And the sign flashed out its warning
                     |F     C     |C  {four beats}
In the words that it was forming
                       |F                    |
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
                          |C
Are written on the subway walls
             |C      Am  |
And tenement halls    and
   {four beats}
|C                |G        |Asus2    |Am   {finish}
 Whispered in the sounds of silence
