SOUND OF SILENCE

Because a vision soft-[C] Iy [G]creeping

Within the [D] sound ... of [Em] silence [stop] In restless dreams I walked a-[D] Ione

Narrow streets of cobbled [Em] stone

‘Neath the halo of [C] a street [G] Iamp

Ten thousand people maybe [Em] more

People talking with-[C] out spea-[G] king

People [Em] hearing wit-[C] out listen-[G] ing

People writing [C] songs that [C/G] voices never [G] share

Disturb the [D] sound... of [Em] silence [stop]

“FOOLS!” said I, you do not [D] know

Silence like a cancer [Em] grows

Hear my words that I [C] might teach [G] you

Take my [Em] arms that I [C] might reach [G] you

But my [C] words like [C/G] silent raindrops [G] fell [extra bar G]

And e-[Em] choed

In the [D] wells of [Em] silence [stop]

And the people bowed and [D] prayed

To the neon God they [Em] made

And the sign flashed [C] its war-[G] ning

In the [Em] words that it [C] was for-[G] ming

And the sign said, the [C] words of the prophets are [C/G] written on the subway [G] walls

And tenement [Em] halls

And [Em] whispered ... in the [D] sounds... of [Em] silence
