Chords

( ) - I've chosen to add what the 2nd guitarist is playing by hammering on one of the notes of the chord that the 1st guitarist is already playing. As this is chords rather than a full tab, I've used chords in brackets to show which string is being hammered e.g. "D (Dsus2) D" means the e string is the one being hammered, on the 2nd fret, and "G (Gadd4) G" means, the 1st fret on the B string is hammered. I've changed the C chord into a C/G once they chords are strummed. This is a personal preference thing. I think that's what is played, and I think it adds a bit of depth to that section. However, you can still play a C and it will still sound great. As this song is in the key of Bb, you'll see D/Gb throughout the song. This is exactly the same chord fingering as the more commonly seen D/F#. [Intro] Em [Verse 1]
Em                       D (Dsus2) D
  Hello darkness, my old friend

                            Em
I've come to talk with you again

                       C         G (Gadd4) G
Because a vision softly creeping

                          C         G (Gadd4) G
Left its seeds while I was sleeping

        C                                  G (Gadd4) G
And the vision that was planted in my brain

             D/Gb Em G
Still remains

           D (Dsus2) D Em
Within the sound of    silence
[Verse 2]
                             D (Dsus2) D
In restless dreams I walked alone

                        Em
Narrow streets of cobblestone

                    C           G (Gadd4) G
`Neath the halo of a street lamp

                          C            G (Gadd4) G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

        C
When my eyes were stabbed

                            G (Gadd4) G
By the flash of a neon light

                    D/Gb Em G
That split the night

                D (Dsus2) D Em
And touched the sound of    silence
[Verse 3]
                         D (Dsus2) D
And in the naked light I saw

                           Em
Ten thousand people, maybe more

                      C/G       G (Gadd4) G
People talking without speaking

                      C/G        G (Gadd4) G
People hearing without listening

               C/G                          G (Gadd4) G
People writing songs that voices never share

                D/Gb Em G
And no one dared

            D (Dsus2) D Em
Disturb the sound of    silence
[Verse 4]
                            D
"Fools" said I, "You do not know"

                      Em
Silence like a cancer grows

                          C/G        G (Gadd4) G
Hear my words that I might teach you

                         C/G         G (Gadd4) G
Take my arms that I might reach you

       C/G                         G (Gadd4) G
But my words like silent raindrops fell

D/Gb Em    G
      And echoed

       D (Dsus2) D Em
In the wells of    silence
[Verse 5]
                         D (Dsus2) D
And the people bowed and prayed

                     Em
To the neon god they made

                            C/G      G (Gadd4) G
And the sign flashed out its warning

G                        C/G      G (Gadd4) G
 In the words that it was forming

                  C/G
And the sign said the words of the prophets

                          G (Gadd4) G
Are written on the subway walls

            D/Gb Em    G
And tenement    halls.

              D        Em
Whispered the sound of silence
