Chords

I was able to transpose the song so that it works with the Pentatonix version, but I'mt not exactly sure if the chord timing matches exactly with them. [Verse 1]
Em                        D
   Hello darkness, my old friend,

                           Em
I've come to talk with you again,

                     C       G
Because a vision softly creeping,

                       C       G
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,

        C                             G
And the vision that was planted in my brain

            G/F# Em
Still remains

G           D        Em
Within the sound of silence.
[Verse 2]
                        D
In restless dreams I walked alone

                        Em
Narrow streets of cobblestone,

                   C        G
'neath the halo of a street lamp,

                          C        G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

        C                                        G
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

                    G/F# Em
That split the night

 G              D        Em
And touched the sound of silence.
[Verse 3]
                         D
And in the naked light I saw

                           Em
Ten thousand people, maybe more.

                   C       G
People talking without speaking,

                   C        G
People hearing without listening,

               C                       G
People writing songs that voices never share

              G/F# Em
And no one dare

G           D        Em
Disturb the sound of silence.
[Verse 4]
      Am                   G
Fools said I, you do not know

                      Am
Silence like a cancer grows.

                     F           C
Hear my words that I might teach you,

                    F           C
Take my arms that I might reach you.

       F                           F   
But my words like silent raindrops fell,

   C
And echoed

       G        Am
In the wells of silence
[Verse 5]
                         G
And the people bowed and prayed

                     Am
To the neon God they made.

                         F      C
And the sign flashed out its warning,

                      F     C
In the words that it was forming.

                       F
And the sign said, the words of the prophets

                           C
Are written on the subway walls

             C    
And tenement halls.

         C           G        Am
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
