The sound of silence - Paul Simon ft. Art Garfunkel

Sloka 1

Gm F Hello darkness, my old friend Gm I've come to talk with you again Eb Bb Because a vision softly creeping Eb Bb Left its seeds while I was sleeping Eb Bb And the vision that was planted in my brain Bb/A Gm Still remains Bb F Gm Within the sound of silence

Sloka 2

Gm F In restless dreams I walked alone Gm Narrow streets of cobblestone Eb Bb 'neath the halo of a street lamp Eb Bb I turned my collar to the cold and damp Eb Bb When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light Bb/A Gm That split the night Bb F Gm And touched the sound of silence

Sloka 3

Gm F And in the naked light I saw Gm Ten thousand people, maybe more Eb Bb People talking without speaking Eb Bb People hearing without listening Eb Bb People writing songs that voices never share Bb/A Gm And no one dare Bb F Gm Disturb the sound of silence

Sloka 4

Gm F "Fools", said I, "you do not know" Gm "Silence like a cancer grows" Eb Bb "Hear my words that I might teach you" Eb Bb "Take my arms that I might reach you" Eb Bb Bb/A Gm But my words like silent raindrops fell Bb F Gm And echoed in the wells of silence

Sloka 5

Gm F And the people bowed and prayed Gm To the neon god they made Eb Bb And the sign flashed out its warning Eb Bb In the words that it was forming Eb And the sign said: "The words of the prophets" Bb "Are written on the subway walls" Bb Bb/A Gm "And tenement halls" Bb F Gm "And whispered in the sounds of silence"
