Song Title: The Sound of Silence (Guitar Tabs & Chords)
Artist: Disturbed
Strumming Pattern: D DU DUD
(F#m)Hello darkness, my (E)old friend
I’ve come to talk with (F#m)you again
Because a vision (D)softly (A)creeping
Left its (F#m)seeds while (D)I was (A)sleeping
(F#m)And the (D)vision that was planted(D) in my (A)brain
Still (F#m)remains
Within the (E)sound of (F#m)silence
(F#m)In restless dreams I walked (E)alone
Narrow streets of (F#m)cobblestone
‘Neath the halo (D)of a street (A)lamp
I turned my (F#m)collar to the (D)cold and (A)damp
When my (D)eyes were stabbed by the flash of a (D)neon (A)light
That (F#m)split the (A)night
(F#m)And touched the (E)sound of (F#m)silence
(F#m)And in the naked (E)light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe (F#m)more
People talking (D)without (A)speaking
People hearing (D)without (A)listening
People writing (D)songs that (D)voices never (A)share
And no one(F#m) dared (A)(F#m)
Disturb the (E)sound of (F#m)silence
(F#m)“Fools, ” said I, “You do not (E)know
Silence, like a cancer, (F#m)grows
Hear my words that I (D)might teach (A)you
Take my arms that I (D)might reach (A)you”
But my (D)words, like silent (D)raindrops (A)fell
And(F#m) echoed(A) in the (E)wells, of (F#m)silence
(F#m)And the people bowed and (E)prayed
To the neon god (F#m)they made
And the sign flashed(D) out its (A)warning
In the words that it(D) was (A)forming
And the sign said, “The (D)words of the prophets are written on the (D)subway (A)walls
And tenement (F#m)halls”
And whispered in the (E)sounds of (F#m)silence
