The sound of silence - Paul Simon ft. Art Garfunkel

Sloka 1

Fm D# Hello darkness, my old friend Fm I've come to talk with you again C# G# Because a vision softly creeping C# G# Left its seeds while I was sleeping C# G# And the vision that was planted in my brain G#/G Fm Still remains G# D# Fm Within the sound of silence

Sloka 2

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

Sloka 3

Fm D# And in the naked light I saw Fm Ten thousand people, maybe more C# G# People talking without speaking C# G# People hearing without listening C# G# People writing songs that voices never share G#/G Fm And no one dare G# D# Fm Disturb the sound of silence

Sloka 4

Fm D# "Fools", said I, "you do not know" Fm "Silence like a cancer grows" C# G# "Hear my words that I might teach you" C# G# "Take my arms that I might reach you" C# G# G#/G Fm But my words like silent raindrops fell G# D# Fm And echoed in the wells of silence

Sloka 5

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