Guitar chords with lyrics
The Sound of Silence by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel Tuning: EADGBEE 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.
