SOUND OF SILENCE (Simon & Garfunkel) KAPO 4 (open E-B-E)

Am G Am

Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again,

Cmaj Fmaj C Fmaj C

Because a vision softly creeping, Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,

Fmaj C

And the vision that was planted in my brain,

Am Cmaj G Am

Still remains, within the sound of silence.

Am G Am

In restless dreams I walked alone, Narrow streets of cobble stone.

Cmaj Fmaj C Fmaj C

'Neath the halo of a street lamp, turned my collar to the cold and damp,

Fmaj C

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light,

Am Cmaj G Am

That split the night, and touched the sounds of silence.

Am G Am

And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe more.

Cmaj Fmaj C Fmaj C

People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening,

Fmaj C

People writing songs, that voices never shared,

Am Cmaj G Am

And no one dared, disturb the sounds of silence.

Am G Am

And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon gods they made.

Cmaj Fmaj C Fmaj C

And the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming,

Fmaj C

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls

Am Cmaj G Am

And tenement halls." And whispered in the sounds of silence.
