The Sound Of Silence (chromatic)

THE SOUND OF SILENCE
By: Paul Simon
Simon & Garfunkel
Key: F

-1  -1  -2   -2   -3 -3    3
Hel-lo dark-ness, my old friend
  1    1  1   2     2   3  3  -2
I've come to talk with you a-gain
-2   -2 -2 -3  -3    4  4    -5   4
Be-cause a vis-ion soft-ly creep-ing
 -2  -2   -3     -3  4  4   -5    4
Left its seeds while I was sleep-ing
-2  -2  -5  -5   -5   6   -6   -6  6 -5   5
And the vis-ion that was plant-ed in my brain
 -5   4   -3
Still re-mains
 -2  -2 -2    4   2  -2   -1
With-in the sound of sil-ence

-1  -1   -1    -2  -2   -3  -3   3
In rest-less dreams I walked a-lone
 1   1     2    2   3   3    -2
Nar-row streets of cob-ble-stone
   -2  -2  -3 -3  4 4   -5     4
'Neath the ha-lo of a street lamp
-2  -2   -2 -3  -3  4   4   -5  -5    4
I turned my col-lar to the cold and damp
 -2  -2  -5   -5    -5
When my eyes were stabbed 
-5  6   -6   -6 -6 6 -5   5
by the flash of a ne-on light
 5    -5    5   -3
That split the night
-2    -2    -2    4   2  -2   -1
And touched the sound of sil-ence

-1  -1 -1  -2  -2  -3  -3  3
And in the nak-ed light I saw
 1    1    1   2   2    3  3   -2
Ten thous-and peo-ple, may-be more
-2  -2   -3  -3    4   4    -5   4
Peo-ple talk-ing with-out speak-ing
-2  -2   -3  -3    4   4  -5  -5   4
Peo-ple hear-ing with-out lis-ten-ing
-2  -2   -5  -5   -5    6 
Peo-ple writ-ing songs that 
 -6  -6  6  -5   5
Voic-es nev-er share
 5  -5  4    -3
And no one dared
-2   -2  -2    4   2  -2   -1
Dis-turb the sound of sil-ence
 
  -1      -1 -2   -2  -3 -3    3
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
 1    1    2  2  3   3    -2
Sil-ence like a can-cer grows
 -2  -2   -3   -3  4   4    -5    4
Hear my words that I might teach you
 -2  -2  -3   -3  4   4     -5   4
Take my arms that I might reach you"
-2  -2   -5     6  -6  -6    6   -5    4
But my words, like sil-ent rain-drops fell
 2  -2  -2  -2 -2    4   2  -2   -1 
And ech-oed in the wells of sil-ence

-1  -1  -2  -2   -3   -3    3
And the peo-ple bowed and prayed
1   1  2  2   3    3   -2
To the ne-on god they made
-2  -2   -3    -3     4   4   -5   4
And the sign flashed out its warn-ing
-2 -2    -3   -3  4   4   -5   4
In the words that it was form-ing
-2  -2   -3    4
And the sign said, 
  4    -5  -5 -5   -5   -5
"The words of the proph-ets 
 6   -6  -6  -6 -6   6  -5   5
are writ-ten on the sub-way walls
 5  -5 -5  5    -3
And ten-e-ment halls"
 2   -2   -2   -2 -2     4   2  -2   -1
And whis-pered in the sounds of sil-ence
