Esus2

Esus2                  D
Hello darkness, my old friend
D                           Em
I've come to talk with you again
Em                   C*        G
Because a vision softly, creeping
G                      C*        G
Left its seeds while I was, sleeping
G       C*               C*            G              G     Em
And the vision, that was planted in my brain... still remains
G          D        Esus2    Em
Within the sound of silence


                             D
In restless dreams I walked alone
D                       Em
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Em                 C*      G
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
G                         C*       G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
G       C*                       C*              G              
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
               G     Em
That split the night
G               D         Esus2    Em
And touched the sound, of silence


                         D
And in the naked light I saw
D                         Em
Ten thousand people maybe more
Em                 C*       G
People talking without speaking
G                  C*        G
People hearing without listening
G              C*          C*           G  
People writing songs, that voices never shared
       G     Em
No one dared
G           D         Esus2    Em
Disturb the sound, of silence


                          D
Fools, said I, You do not know
D                     Em
Silence like a cancer grows
Em                   C*          G
Hear my words that I might teach you
G                   C*          G
Take my arms that I might reach you
G      C*          C*               G
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
    G     Em
And echoed,
G      D         Esus2    Em
In the wells, of silence


                         D
And the people bowed and prayed
D                    Em
To the neon god they made
Em                       C*      G
And the sign flashed out its warning
G                    C*      G
In the words that it was forming
G                      C*                        C*                G  
And the sign said, The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls,
        G    Em
And tenement halls
G                    D          Esus2    Em
And whispered in the sounds, of silence

# Play last Esus2 with the fingerpicking style like the first part to make the "slowing effect" which is so typical of this song ;-)
