Sounds of Silence
by Simon and Garfunkel

this is REALLY simple
capo on 6th fret
(normal tuning: EADGBE)


(pick the first paragraph, and then the rest is strumming--until the last 3 words)

Am (x02210@1)                      G (320003@1)  Hello darkness, my old friend,
                           AmI've (x02210@1)come to talk with you again,
                     F (133211@1)     CBecause (x32010@1)a vision softly creeping,
                        F (133211@1)     CLeft (x32010@1)it's seeds while I was sleeping,
        F (133211@1)                           CAnd (x32010@1)the vision that was planted in my brain
        AmStill (x02210@1)remains
           G (320003@1)      AmWithin (x02210@1)the sound of silence.

                             GIn (320003@1)restless dreams I walked alone
                        AmNarrow (x02210@1)streets of cobblestone,
                   F (133211@1)      C'neath (x32010@1)the halo of a street lamp,
                          F (133211@1)      CI (x32010@1)turned my collar to the cold and damp
        F (133211@1)                                      CWhen (x32010@1)my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
               AmThat (x02210@1)split the night
                G (320003@1)      AmAnd (x02210@1)touched the sound of silence.


                         GAnd (320003@1)in the naked light I saw
                           AmTen (x02210@1)thousand people, maybe more.
                   F (133211@1)     CPeople (x32010@1)talking without speaking,
                   F (133211@1)      CPeople (x32010@1)hearing without listening,
               F (133211@1)                     CPeople (x32010@1)writing songs that voices never share
           AmAnd (x02210@1)no one dare
            G (320003@1)      AmDisturb (x02210@1)the sound of silence.


                         GFools (320003@1)said i, you do not know
                      AmSilence (x02210@1)like a cancer grows.
                     F (133211@1)         CHear (x32010@1)my words that I might teach you,
                    F (133211@1)         CTake (x32010@1)my arms that I might reach you.
       F (133211@1)                         CBut (x32010@1)my words like silent raindrops fell,

And echoed
       G (320003@1)      AmIn (x02210@1)the wells of silence


                         GAnd (320003@1)the people bowed and prayed
                     AmTo (x02210@1)the neon God they made.
                         F (133211@1)     CAnd (x32010@1)the sign flashed out it's warning,
                      F (133211@1)   CIn (x32010@1)the words that it was forming.
                       FAnd (133211@1)the sign said, the words of the prophets


    Am (x02210@1)                  CAre (x32010@1)written on the subway walls
             CAnd (x32010@1)tenement halls.
                     G (320003@1)       AmAnd (x02210@1)whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
                    /                  /              
      Picking, here            to here
