The Sound of Silence - Lyrics & Chords

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."

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

Left its seeds while I was sleeping C/B Am

And the vision that was planted C G Am

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".
