The Sound of Silence by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel

Tuning: EADGBE

E minorEm            D MajorD
  Hello darkness, my old friend,
              E minorEm
I've come to talk with you again,
         C majorC   G+G
Because a vision soft creeping,
     E minorEm       C majorC   G+G
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
     C majorC        C/GC/G      G+G
And the vision that was planted in my brain
    E minorEm
Still remains
       D MajorD    E minorEm
Within the sound of silence.

 E minorEm             D MajorD
In restless dreams I walked alone
            E minorEm
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
 E minorEm         C majorC    G+G
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
       E minorEm      C majorC    G+G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
    C majorC
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon

G+G
light
        E minorEm
That split the night
        D MajorD    E minorEm
And touched the sound of silence.


E minorEm             D MajorD
 And in the naked light I saw
              E minorEm
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
E minorEm        C majorC    G+G
People talking without speaking,
E minorEm          C majorC    G+G
People hearing without listening,
         C majorC            G+G
People writing songs that voices never share
      E minorEm
And no one dare
       D MajorD    E minorEm
Disturb the sound of silence.

E minorEm             D MajorD
 Fools said i, you do not know
           E minorEm
Silence like a cancer grows.
E minorEm           C majorC     G+G
Hear my words that I might teach you,
E minorEm          C majorC      G+G
Take my arms that I might reach you.
     C majorC             G+G
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
   E minorEm
And echoed
    D MajorD    E minorEm
In the wells of silence


E minorEm            D MajorD
 And the people bowed and prayed
           E minorEm
To the neon God they made.
E minorEm             C majorC    G+G
 And the sign flashed out it's warning,
E minorEm           C majorC   G+G
In the words that it was forming.
     E minorEm       C majorC
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
    C majorC          G+G
Are written on the subway walls
        E minorEm
And tenement halls.
           D MajorD     E minorEm
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
