Standard tuning
REm
Throughout the intro you pluck like so: e|---1---1---1---1-|
B|-----3-------3---|
G|-2-------2-------|
The only plucking part of the song is the intro, the rest is strumming, you'll have
to listen to the song to find the rhythm. Good luck.
Intro: (Start plucking on the 'G' string, and say "Hello" on the third time you pluck
the 'B' string. The rest of the chords are above the corresponding syllables, just keep
the plucking rhythm while you transition.)
REm DO
Hello darkness my old friend
REm
I've come to talk with you again
FA SIb FA
Because a vision softly creeping
SIb FA
Left his seeds while I was sleeping
SIb FA
And the vision that was planted in my brain
REm FA DO RE
Still remain within the sound of silence.
Verse 1:
DO
In restless dreams I walked alone
REm
Narrow streets of cobbled stone
FA SIb FA
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
SIb FA
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
SIb FA
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
REm FA DO REm
That split the night and touched the sound of silence.
Verse 2:
DO
And in the naked light I saw
REm
Ten thousand people maybe more
FA SIb FA
People talking without speaking
SIb FA
People hearing without listening
SIb FA
People writing songs that voices never share
REm FA DO REm
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence
Verse 3:
DO
Fools said I you do not know
REm
Silence like a cancer grow
FA SIb FA
Hear my words that I might teach you
SIb FA
Take my arm that I might reach you
SIb FA
But my words like silent raindrops fell
REm FA DO REm
And echoed in the well of silence
Verse 4:
DO
And the people bowed and prayed
REm
To the neon god they made
FA SIb FA
And the sign flashed out its warning
SIb FA
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said
SIb FA
The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
REm FA DO REm
And tenement halls and whispered in the sound of silence
