The Sound of Silence Disturbed
Hello darkness, [F#m]my old friend [E]
I've come to talk with yo[F#m]u again
Because a vision s[D]oftly c[A]reeping
Left its see[F#m]ds while I [D]was sle[A]eping
[F#m]And the [D]vision that was [D2]planted [D]in my [A]brain
Still re[F#m]mains within the [E]sound of [F#m]silence
[F#m]In restless dreams I walked[E] alone
Narrow streets of [F#m]cobblestone
'Neath the halo of [D]a street [A]lamp
I turned my coll[F#m]ar to the [D]cold and [A]damp
When my [D]eyes were stabbed by the fl[D2]ash of a[D] neon [A]light
That [F#m]split the n[A]ight
[F#m]And touched the [E]sound of [F#m]silence
[F#m]And in the naked li[E]ght I saw
Ten thousand people, mayb[F#m]e more
People talking wit[D]hout spe[A]aking
People hearing wit[D]hout lis[A]tening
People writing [D]songs that [D2]voices [D]never [A]share
And no one [F#m]dare[(A] [-] [F#m)]
Disturb the [E]sound of [F#m]silence
[F#m]Fools said I, you do not[E] know
Silence like a cancer [F#m]grows
Hear my words that I m[D]ight teach [A]you
Take my arms that I m[D]ight reach to [A]you
But my [D]words like [D2]silent [D]raindrops [A]fell
[(F#m]And e[-]ch[A)]oed in the w[E]ells of [F#m]silence
[F#m]And the people bowed and [E]prayed
To the neon God the[F#m]y made
And the sign flashed [D]out it's[A] warning
And the words that it[D] was for[A]ming
And the sign said
The w[D]ords of the prophets are [D2]written on the [D]subway w[A]alls
And tenement hal[F#m]ls
And whispered in the [E]sound of si[F#m]lence
