Sound Of Silence chords (version 1)
Simon and Garfunkel *
Capo I
DmDm 
C majorC DmDm
Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you again.
FF 
Bb majorBb FF
Because a vision softly creeping,
Bb majorBb FF
left its seeds while I was sleeping
Bb majorBb FF
And the vision that was planted in my brain,
DmDm FF C majorC DmDm
still remains, within the sound of silence.
DmDm C majorC DmDm
In restless dreams I walked alone through narrow streets of cobblestone.
FF Bb majorBb FF
Beneath the halo of a street lamp,
Bb majorBb FF
I turned my collar to the cold and damp.
Bb majorBb FF
When my eyes were stabbed by a flash of the neon light,
DmDm FF C majorC DmDm
and split the night, and touched the sound of silence.
DmDm C majorC DmDm
And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people maybe more.
FF Bb majorBb FF
People talking without speaking,
Bb majorBb FF
people hearing without listening.
Bb majorBb FF
People writing songs that voices never shared,
DmDm FF C majorC DmDm
no one dared, disturb the sound of silence.
DmDm C majorC DmDm
"Fools," said I, "you do not know, silence like a cancer grows.
FF Bb majorBb FF
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Bb majorBb FF
take my arms that I might reach you."
Bb majorBb FF
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
DmDm C majorC DmDm
echoed in the wells of silence.
DmDm C majorC DmDm
And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made.
FF Bb majorBb FF
And the sign flashed out it's warning,
Bb majorBb FF
in the words that it was forming. And the sign said:
Bb majorBb FF
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls;
DmDm FF C majorC DmDm
and tenement halls," and whispered the sounds of silence.
