Sound Of Silence

Intro: Verse Em D Em Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again C G Em C G Because a vision soft creeping, Left it's seeds while I was sleeping C C/G G Em D Em And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence Melody Em D Em In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone Em C G Em C G 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp C G When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light Em D Em That split the night and touched the sound of silence D Em And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more C G Em C G People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening C G Em D Em People writing songs that voices never share and no one dare, disturb the sound of silence D Em Fools said i, you do not know silence like a cancer grows C G Em C G Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you C G Em D Em But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence D Em And the people bowed and prayed to the neon God they made C G Em C G And the sign flashed out it's warning, in the words that it was forming Em C C G And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls Em D Em And tenement halls and whispered in the sounds of silence
