from a church on a breeze

ov-er stones on its way

To sing through the night

The Sound Of Silence

-1 -1 -2 -2 -3 -3 3
Hello darkness, my old friend
1 1 1 2 2 3 3 -2
I’ve come to talk with you again
-2 -2 -2 -3 -3 3 3 -5 4
Because a vision softly creeping
-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
-2 -2 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 -6 6 -5 5
And the vision that was planted in my brain
-5 4 -3
Still remains
-2 -2 -2 4 2 -2 -1
Within the sound of silence

-1 -1 -1 -2 -2 -3 -3 3
In restless dreams I walked alone
1 1 2 2 3 3 -2
Narrow streets of cobblestone
-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4
‘Neath the halo- of a street lamp
-2 -2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 -5 4
I turn my collar to the cold and damp
-2 -2 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 5
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a- neon light
5 -5 4 -3
That split the night
-2 -2 -2 4 2 -2 -1
And touched the sound of silence

-1 -1 -1 -2 -2 -3 -3 3
And in the naked light I saw
1 1 1 2 2 3 3 -2
Ten thousand people maybe more
-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4
People talking without speaking
-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 -5 4
People hearing without listening
-2 -2 -5 -5 -5 6 -6 -6 6 -5 5
People writing songs that voices never shared
5 -5 4 -3
and no one dared
-2 -2 -2 4 2 -2 -1
Disturb the sound of silence

-1 -1 -2 -2 -3 -3 3
“Fools,” said I, “you do not know
1 1 2 2 3 3 -2
Silence like a cancer grows
-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4
Hear my words that I might teach you
-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4
Take my arms that I might reach you”
-2 -2 -5 6 -6 -6 6 -5 4
But my words like silent raindrops fell
2 -2 -2 -2 -2 4 2 -2 -1
And echoed in the wells of silence

-1 -1 -2 -2 -3 -3 3
And the people bowed and prayed
1 1 2 2 3 3 -2
To the neon god they made
-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4
And the sign flashed out its warning
-2 -2 -3 -3 4 4 -5 4
In the words that it was forming
-2 -2 -3 4 4 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
And the sign said “The words of the prophets
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -5 5
are written on the subway walls
5 -5 -5 4 -3
And tenement halls
2 -2 -2 -2 -2 4 2 -2 -1
And whispered in the sound of silence

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

And he stood and he stood
And ‘twas well that he stood,
I read from my book,
Said the boy as he stood.

Oh what have ye got?
Said the knight on the road,
‘Tis a bait of bread and cheese.
Said the boy as he stood.
And he stood and he stood
And ‘twas well that he stood,
Said the boy as he stood.

Oh pray give me some
Said the knight on the road,
Oh no, not a crumb.
Said the boy as he stood.
And he stood and he stood
And ‘twas well that he stood,
Oh no, not a crumb,
Said the boy as he stood.

I hear your school bell,
Said the knight on the road,
Hit’s a-ringing you to hell.
Said the boy as he stood.
And he stood and he stood
And ‘twas well that he stood,
Hit’s a-ringing you to hell.
Said the boy as he stood.

Many`s the lad fought on that day

Well the claymore could wield

When the night came, silently lay

Dead on Culloden`s Field

Scatter the loyal men

Yet `ere the sword cool in the sheath,

Charlie will come again

CHORUS
