Cifras
The sounds of silence

 Dm                                         C 
Hello darkness, my old friend,
                                                       Dm 
I've come to talk with you again,
                     F                         Bb     F 
Because a vision softly creeping,
                                                       Bb     F 
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
                 Bb                                                       F 
And the vision that was planted in my brain
             Dm 
Still remains
 F                   C                 Dm 
Within the sounds of silence.
 Dm                                                   C 
In restless dreams I walked alone
                                                                 Dm 
Through narrow streets of cobblestone,
                                 F       Bb         F 
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
                                                     Bb             F 
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
                 Bb                                                                             F 
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
                               Dm 
That split the night
 F                             C                 Dm 
And touched the sounds of silence.
 Dm                                             C 
And in the naked light I saw
                                                       Dm 
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
                               F             Bb     F 
People talking without speaking,
                                               Bb     F 
People hearing without listening,
                               Bb                                           F 
People writing songs that voices never shared
                       Dm 
And no one dared
 F                     C                 Dm 
Disturb the sounds of silence.
 Dm                                                   C 
"Fools" said I, "You do not know
                                             Dm 
Silence like a cancer grows.
                                       F       Bb               F 
Hear my words that I might teach you,
                                                 Bb               F 
Take my arms that I might reach you."
               Bb                                                   F 
But my words like silent raindrops fell ...
 Dm         F 
And echoed
               C               Dm 
In the wells of silence
                                                   C 
And the people bowed and prayed
                                           Dm 
To the neon god they made.
                           F                             Bb   F 
And the sign flashed out its warning,
                                                   Bb   F 
In the words that it was forming.
                                                 Bb                                                                                           F 
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
                           Dm 
And tenement halls."
         F                               C                 Dm 
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
