The Sound of Silence by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel
Tabbed by : Aakash Brahmachari
"A classic is a book everyone praises but no one reads"
Tuning: EADGBE
Em Hello darkness, my old Dfriend,
I've come to talk with you Emagain,
Because a vision sCoft crGeeping,
Left it's Emseeds while I wCas sleGeping,
And the vCision that was plC/Ganted in my braGin
Still rEmemains
Within the soDund of sEmilence.
IEmn restless dreams I walked aDlone
Narrow streets of cobbleEmstone,
'EmNeath the halo of aC street lGamp,
I turned my coEmllar to the cCold and dGamp
When my Ceyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon
Glight
That split the Emnight
And touched the Dsound of Emsilence.
Em And in the naked light I Dsaw
Ten thousand people, maybe Emmore.
EmPeople talking witChout speGaking,
EmPeople hearing withoutC listeniGng,
People writing soCngs that voices never shGare
And no one Emdare
Disturb the sDound of sEmilence.
Em Fools said i, you do not kDnow
Silence like a cancer Emgrows.
EmHear my words that I miCght teach yGou,
EmTake my arms that I miCght reach yoGu.
But my woCrds like silent raindrops fGell,
And ecEmhoed
In the Dwells of Emsilence
Em And the people bowed and Dprayed
To the neon God they Emmade.
Em And the sign flashed out iCt's warnGing,
EmIn the words that it waCs formGing.
And the sEmign said, the woCrds of the prophets
Are writCten on the subway walGls
And tenement haEmlls.
And whispered in the sDounds of sEmilence.
"Live Long and Prosper"
