Chord The Sound Of Silence - Monita Tahalea

[Intro]
F G..F G..
        Am..D..Am

                       G
hello darkness, my old friend
                            Am
i've come to talk with you again
                     F      C
because a vision softly creeping
                       F       C
left its seeds while i was sleeping

        F                             C
and the vision that was planted in my brain
             Am C
still remains..
           G        Am
within the sound of silence

                             G
in restless dreams i walked alone
                        Am
narrow streets of cobblestone
                   F        C
'neath the halo of a street lamp
                          F        C
i turned my collar to the cold and damp

        F
when my eyes were stabbed
                       C
by the flash of a neon light
                    Am C
that split the night..
                G        Am
and touched the sound of silence

                         G
and in the naked light i saw
                           Am
ten thousand people, maybe more
                   F       C
people talking without speaking
                   F        C
people hearing without listening

       F
people writing songs
                  C
that voices never share
            Am C
no one dared
            G        Am
disturb the sound of silence

                            G
"fools", said i "you do not know"
                      Am
silence like a cancer grows
                     F           C
hear my words that i might teach you
                    F           C
take my arms that i might reach you
       F                            C   Am
but my words, like silent raindrops fell
    C             G       (Am)
and echoed in the wells of silence

Int. Am G..
     C Am..F G..
     C Am..

                         G
and the people bowed and prayed
                     Am
to the neon God they made
                         F      C
and the sign flashed out its warning
                     F      C
in the words that it was forming

        F
and the sign said,
"the words of the prophets are
                      C
written on the subway walls
                  Am
and tenement halls
    C                G        Am
and whispered in the sound of silence"
