The Sound Of Silence

Csus2 : x30013 [Intro] Em D/A Em Em D/A Em [Verse 1] (Picked) Em D/A Hello darkness, my old friend Em I've come to talk with you again C G Because a vision softly creeping Em C G Left its seeds while I was sleeping Em C Csus2 C G And the vision that was planted in my brain Em D/A Em Still remains within the sound of silence [Verse 2] (Picked) Em D/A In restless dreams I walked alone Em (Em - Em7 - Em) Narrow streets of cobblestone C G 'Neath the halo of a street lamp Em C G I turned my collar to the cold and damp C Csus2 C G When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light Em G That split the night Em D/A Em And touched the sound of silence [Verse 3] (Light strumming) Em D/A And in the naked light I saw Em (Em - Em7 - Em) Ten thousand people, maybe more C G People talking without speaking Em C G People hearing without listening C Csus2 C G People writing songs that voices never share Em And no one dare D/A Em Disturb the sound of silence [Verse 4] (Strum) Em D/A Fools said I, you do not know Em (Em - Em7 - Em) Silence like a cancer grows C G Hear my words that I might teach you Em C G Take my arms that I might reach to you C Csus2 C G But my words like silent raindrops fell Em D/A Em And echoed in the wells of silence [Verse 5] (Strum) Em D/A And the people bowed and prayed Em (Em - Em7 - Em) To the neon God they made C G And the sign flashed out it's warning Em C G And the words that it was forming And the sign said C Csus2 C G The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls Em And tenement halls D/A Em And whispered in the sound of silence (Pick the last chord) [Outro] Em D/A Em
