In restless dreams I walked alone,
narrow streets of cobblestone
‘neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
split the night… and touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
ten thousand people maybe more
people talking without speaking
people hearing without listening
people writing songs that voices never share
noone dare, disturb the sound of silence

Fools said I you do not know,
silence like a cancer grows,
hear my words that I might teach you
take my arms that I might reach you
but my words, like silent raindrops fell…
and echoed the will of silence

And the people bowed and prayed,
to the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
in the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls, and tenement halls
and whisper the sounds of silence.”

Sounds of Silence ( Paul Simon )

Acoustic version from the Wednesday Morning 3AM album.

Note : This acoustic version can be found on the Wednesday Morning 3AM album.

The part which is transcribed here can also be heard on the
electrically-dubbed version featured on the Sounds of Silence album,
along with the 12-string guitar part.

The first chords ( Amsus2 and G5 ) contain no third note,
then the tone of the song is clear from the 5th bar only,
when the tension is released, on the word “again”.

Sounds of Silence

Rest of it strummed :

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split[F/E] the night[C/B]
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

“Fools” said I,”You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you.”
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the signs said, The words of the prophets
are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper’d in the sounds of silence.
