Sound Of Silence Simon & Garfunkel
[Em] Hello darkness, my old [D]friend,
I've come to talk with you [Em]again,
Because a vision s[C]oft cr[G]eeping,
Left it's [Em]seeds while I w[C]as sle[G]eping,
And the v[C]ision that was pl[C/G]anted in my bra[G]in
Still r[Em]emains
Within the so[D]und of s[Em]ilence.
I[Em]n restless dreams I walked a[D]lone
Narrow streets of cobble[Em]stone,
'[Em]Neath the halo of a[C] street l[G]amp,
I turned my co[Em]llar to the c[C]old and d[G]amp
When my [C]eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon
[G]light
That split the [Em]night
And touched the [D]sound of [Em]silence.
[Em] And in the naked light I [D]saw
Ten thousand people, maybe [Em]more.
[Em]People talking wit[C]hout spe[G]aking,
[Em]People hearing without[C] listeni[G]ng,
People writing so[C]ngs that voices never sh[G]are
And no one [Em]dare
Disturb the s[D]ound of s[Em]ilence.
[Em] Fools said i, you do not k[D]now
Silence like a cancer [Em]grows.
[Em]Hear my words that I mi[C]ght teach y[G]ou,
[Em]Take my arms that I mi[C]ght reach yo[G]u.
But my wo[C]rds like silent raindrops f[G]ell,
And ec[Em]hoed
In the [D]wells of [Em]silence
[Em] And the people bowed and [D]prayed
To the neon God they [Em]made.
[Em] And the sign flashed out i[C]t's warn[G]ing,
[Em]In the words that it wa[C]s form[G]ing.
And the s[Em]ign said, the wo[C]rds of the prophets
Are writ[C]ten on the subway wal[G]ls
And tenement ha[Em]lls.
And whispered in the s[D]ounds of s[Em]ilence.
"Live Long and Prosper"
