    The Sound of Silence - Lyrics & Chords

    Uploaded by

    Lương
    The song describes a vision the narrator had while sleeping of a silent crowd. When awake, the narrator sees thousands of people talking without communicating, hearing without listening, and writing songs "that voices never share." No one dares disturb "the sound of silence." The narrator tries to teach the crowd through words and embrace but their message falls like "silent raindrops" echoing in the "wells of silence."

    THE SOUND OF SILENCE

    SIMON & GARFUNKEL


    G
    Capo : th
    6 fret And in the naked light I saw
    Am
    Intro : Asus4 Ten thousand people, maybe more
    C F C
    G People talking without speaking
    Hello darkness, my old friend F C
    Am People hearing without listening
    I've come to talk with you again F
    C F C People writing songs
    Because a vision softly creeping C
    F C that voices never share
    Left its seeds while I was sleeping C/B Am
    F And no one dared
    And the vision that was planted C G Am
    C Disturb the sound of silence
    in my brain
    C/B Am
    Still remains
    C G Asus2 Am G
    Within the sound of silence Fools, said I, you do not know
    Am
    Silence like a cancer grows
    G C F C
    In restless dreams I walked alone Hear my words that I might teach you
    Am F C
    Narrow streets of cobblestone Take my arms that I might reach you
    C F C F
    'Neath the halo of a street lamp But my words, like silent
    F C C/B Am
    I turned my collar to the cold raindrops fell
    C C G Am
    and damp And echoed in the wells of silence
    F
    When my eyes were stabbed
    C
    by the flash of a neon light
    C/B Am
    That split the night
    C G Am
    And touched the sound of silence
    G
    And the people bowed and prayed
    Am
    To the neon god they 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
    on the subway walls
    C/B Am
    And tenement halls
    C G
    And whispered in the sounds of
    Asus2
    silence".
