Sound of Silence

The Sound of Silence by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel is summarized in 3 sentences: The speaker comes to talk with darkness as a vision from sleeping leaves seeds in his brain of narrow streets under a street lamp where his eyes are stabbed by a neon light that splits the night and touches the sound of silence. People talk without speaking, hear without listening and write songs not shared as fools say silence grows like cancer while words fall like raindrops in the wells of silence. The people bow and pray to a neon god as a sign flashes a warning with the words of prophets written on subway walls and tenement halls, whispered in the sounds of silence.

The Sound of Silence by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel Tabbed by : Aakash Brahmachari Em D Hello darkness, my old friend,

Em I've come to talk with you again, C G Because a vision soft creeping, Em C G Left it's seeds while I was sleeping, C C/G 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, Em C G 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, Em C G I turned my collar to the cold and damp C When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon G 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. Em C G People talking without speaking, Em 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 do not know Em Silence like a cancer grows. Em C G Hear my words that I might teach you,

Em C G Take my arms that I might reach you. C G But my words like silent 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. Em C G And the sign flashed out it's warning, Em C G In the words that it was forming. Em C And the sign said, the words of the prophets C G Are written on the subway walls Em And tenement halls. D Em And whispered in the sounds of silence.
