Simon & Garfunkel - Sound of silence

^F#m Hello darkness, my old ^Efriend, I've come to talk with you ^F#magain, Because a vision soft^Dly creep^Aing, Left it's seeds while I ^Dwas slee^Aping, And the ^Dvision that was planted in my ^Abrain Still re^F#mmains Within the ^Esound of ^F#msilence.

In restless dreams I walked a^Elone Narrow streets of cobble^F#mstone, 'neath the halo of ^Da street ^Alamp, I turned my collar to the ^Dcold and ^Adamp When my ^Deyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon ^Clight That split the ^F#mnight And touched the ^Esound of ^F#msilence.

And in the naked light I ^Esaw Ten thousand people, maybe ^F#mmore. People talking with^Dout spea^Aking, People hearing with^Dout liste^Aning, People writing ^Dsongs that voices never ^Ashare And no one ^F#mdare Disturb the ^Esound of ^F#msilence.

Fools said i, you do not ^Eknow Silence like a cancer ^F#mgrows. Hear my words that I ^Dmight teach ^Ayou, Take my arms that I ^Dmight reach ^Ayou. But my ^Dwords like silent raindrops ^Afell,

In the ^Ewells of ^F#msilence

And the people bowed and ^Eprayed To the neon God they ^F#mmade. And the sign flashed out ^Dit's war^Aning, In the words that it w^Das for^Aming. And the sign said, the ^Dwords of the prophets

Are ^F#mwritten on the subway ^Awalls And tenement ^Ahalls. And whisper'd in the ^Esounds of ^F#msilence.
