The Sound Of Silence Uke tab by Simon And Garfunkel

Am                       GG
Hello darkness, my old friend
                             Am Am
I've come to talk with you again
                  (F        C)  C
Because a vision softly creeping
                       (F)     C
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
           F               F            C
And the vision that was planted in my brain
           (C Am)
Still remains
(C)          G          Am
Within the sound of silence

Am                           G  G
In restless dreams I walked alone
                       Am   Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone
                      (F)   C
‘Neath the halo of a streetlamp
               (C           F)        C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
          F                        F               C  
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
               (C aM)
That split the night

(C)                G        Am
And touched the sound of silence

Am                       G G
And in the naked light I saw
                          Am Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more
                   (F    C)
People talking without speaking
                    (F    C)
People hearing without listening
                  F         F            C
People writing songs that voices never share
         (C Am)
No one dare
C             G           Am
Disturb the sound of silence

Am                            G G
“Fools” said I, “You do not know
                       Am Am
Silence like a cancer grows
                      (F           C)
Hear my words that I might teach you
C                      (F        C)  (C)
Take my arms that I might reach you”
        F            F              C  (C Am)
But my words like silent raindrops fell
       C            G         Am
And echoed in the wells of silence

Am                          G G
And the people bowed and prayed
                     Am 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
C                        F
And the sign said “The words of the prophets
      F                     C
Are written on the subway walls
              (C  Am)
And tenement halls
        C               G           Am Am Am
And whispered in the sounds of silence
