The Sound Of Silence chords

[VERSE 1]
[Em] Hello darkness, my old [D]friend,
I've come to talk with you [Em]again,
Because a vision soft[C]ly creep[G]ing,
Left its seeds while I [C]was slee[G]ping,
And the [C]vision that was planted in my [G]brain
Still remain[G/F#]s [Em]
[G]Within the s[D]ound of s[Em]ilence.

[VERSE 2]
In restless dreams I wal[D]ked alone
Narrow streets of cobble[Em]stone,
'neath the halo of [C]a street [G]lamp,
I turned my collar to the [C]cold and [G]damp
When my [C]eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [G]light
That split the night[G/F#] [Em]
A[G]nd touched the [D]sound of [Em]silence.

[VERSE 3]
And in the naked light I [D]saw
Ten thousand people, maybe [Em]more.
People talking with[C]out spea[G]king,
People hearing with[C]out liste[G]ning,
People writing [C]songs that voices never [G]share
And no one dar[G/F#]e [Em]
[G]Disturb the [D]sound of [Em]silence.

[VERSE 4]
Fools said I, you do not [D]know
Silence like a cancer [Em]grows.
Hear my words that I [C]might teach [G]you,
Take my arms that I [C]might reach [G]you.
But my [C]words like silent raindrops [G]fell[G/F#] , [Em]
And[G] echoed
In the [D]wells of [Em]silence

[VERSE 5]
And the people bowed and [D]prayed
To the neon God they [Em]made.
And the sign flashed out [C]its war[G]ning,
In the words that it w[C]as for[G]ming.
And the sign said, the [C]words of the prophets
Are written on the subway w[G]alls
And tenement [G]halls.[G/F#] [Em]
And whisp[G]er'd in the [D]sounds of [Em]silence.
