Sound of silence Paul Simeon
Intro A4 Capo 4 (orig Capo 6)
A4 G A4
Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk to you again,
C F C
Because a vision softly creeping,
F C
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
F C Am C
And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains,
G Am A4 Am
Within the sound of silence.
Am G A4
In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobble stone.
C F C
Neath the halo of a street lamp,
F C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
F C
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light,
Am C G Am A4 Am
That split the night - and touched the sound of silence.
Am G A4
And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe more,
C F C
People talking without speaking
F C
People hearing without listening
F C
people writing songs that voices never share,
Am C G Am A4 Am
and no-one dared - disturb the sound so silence.
Am G A4
Fools, said I, you do not know, silence like a cancer grows,
C F C
Hear my words, that I might teach you,
F C
Take my arms that I might reach you,
F C (c,b,a) Am
But my words like silent raindrops fell
C G Am A4 Am
And echoed in the wells of silence.
Am G A4
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they`d made.
C F C
And the sign flashed out its warning,
F C
In the words that it was forming.
F
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written
C Am C
In the subway walls, and tenement halls ,
G (N/C) A4
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
