Sound of Silence
ORIG KEY (Ebm)
for easy playing Capo on the 6th fret (Am)
[Verse 1]
D#m D#m C# C# D#m
Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again,
( D#m 1,2 F# 3, 4)( B F#) F# ( B F#)
Because a vision softly creeping, Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
(F#) B B F# ( F# D#m)
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
(F#) C# D#m
Within the sound of silence.
[Verse 2]
D#m C# C# D#m
In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone,
( D#m 1,2,3 F# 4)( B F#) F# ( B F#)
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp
(F#) B B F# ( F# D#m)
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night,
(F#) C# D#m
And touched the sound of silence.
[Verse 3]
D#m C# C# D#m
And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more.
( D#m 1,2,3 F# 4) ( B F#) F# ( B F#)
People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening,
(F#) B B F# ( F# D#m)
People writing songs that voices never share And no one dare
(F#) C# D#m
Disturb the sound of silence.
[Verse 4]
D#m C# C# D#m
Fools said I, you do not know Silence like a cancer grows.
( D#m 1,2,3 F# 4) ( B F#) F# ( B F#)
Hear my words that I might teach you; take my arms that I might reach you.
(F#) B B F# ( F# D#m) F# C# D#m
But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence.
[Verse 5]
D#m C# C# D#m
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon God they made.
( D#m 1,2,3 F# 4) ( B F#) F# ( B F#)
And the sign flashed out it's warning, in the words that it was forming.
F# B B F#
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
( F# D#m) F# C# D#m D#m
And tenement halls”. And whispered in the sounds of silence.
