The Sound Of Silence chords by Paul Simon

Chords with lyrics

Key: 'G'

 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 softly creeping
E minorEm           C majorC     G+G
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
     C majorC                 G+G      E minorEm
And the visions that was planted in my brain, still remains
      D MajorD    E minorEm
Within the sound of silence
                D MajorD
In restless dreams I walked alone
            E minorEm
Narrow streets of cobblestone
           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                     G+G
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of the neon light
          E minorEm
That split the night
         D MajorD    E minorEm
And touched the sound of silence
             D MajorD
And in the naked light I saw
              E minorEm
Ten thousand people, maybe more
         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
              D MajorD
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
            E minorEm
Silence like a cancer grows
           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  E minorEm
But my words like silent raidrops fell
   G+G
And echoed
    D MajorD    E minorEm
In the walls of silence
             D MajorD
And the people bowed and prayed
           E minorEm
To the neon god they made
           C majorC     G+G
And the sing flashed out its warning
E minorEm           C majorC   G+G
 In the words that it was forming

And the sign said

 C majorC
"The words of the prophets
             G+G
Are written on the subway walls
       E minorEm
And tenement halls
    G+G       D MajorD    E minorEm
And whispered in the sound of silence
