    THE SOUNDS OF SILENCE

    UKE TAB BY SIMON AND GARFUNKEL

    Em D
    Hello darkness, my old friend,
    Em
    I've come to talk with you again,
    G C G
    Because a vision softly creeping,
    C G
    Left it seeds while I was sleeping,
    C G
    And the vision that was planted in my brain
    Em
    Still remains
    D Em
    Within the sound of silence.

    Em D
    In restless dreams I walked alone
    Em
    Narrow streets of cobblestone,
    G C G
    Neath the halo of street lamp,
    C G
    I turned my collar to the cold and damp
    C G
    When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
    Em
    That split the night
    D Em
    And touched the sound of silence.

    Em D
    And in the naked light I saw
    Em
    Ten thousand people, maybe more.
    G C G
    People talking without speaking,
    C G
    People hearing without listening,
    C G
    People writing songs that voices never share
    Em
    And no one dare
    D Em
    Disturb the sound of silence.

    Em D
    "Fools" said I, "You don't know
    Em
    Silence like a cancer grows.
    G C G
    Hear my words that I might teach you,
    C G
    Thake my arms that I might reach you."
    C G
    But my words like silence raindrops fell,
    Em
    And echoed
    D Em
    In the wells of silence.

    Em D
    And the people bowed and prayed
    Em
    To the neon god they made.
    G C G
    And the sign flashed out its warning,
    C G
    In the words that it was forming.
    C
    And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
    G Em
    Are written on the subway walls, and tenements halls."
    D Em
    And whisper'd in the sound of silence.
