[Verse 1]
Am Am G G Am
Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again,
(Am 1,2 C 3, 4)(F C) C (F C)
Because a vision softly creeping, Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
(C) F F C (C Am)
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
(C) G Am
Within the sound of silence.
[Verse 2]
Am G G Am
In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone,
(Am 1,2,3 C 4)(F C) C (F C)
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp
(C) F F C (C Am)
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night,
(C) G Am
And touched the sound of silence.
[Verse 3]
Am G G Am
And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more.
(Am 1,2,3 C 4) (F C) C (F C)
People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening,
(C) F F C (C Am)
People writing songs that voices never share And no one dare
(C) G Am
Disturb the sound of silence.
[Verse 4]
Am G G Am
Fools said I, you do not know Silence like a cancer grows.
(Am 1,2,3 C 4) (F C) C (F C)
Hear my words that I might teach you; take my arms that I might reach you.
(C) F F C (C Am) C G Am
But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence.
[Verse 5]
Am G G Am
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon God they made.
(Am 1,2,3 C 4) (F C) C (F C)
And the sign flashed out it's warning, in the words that it was forming.
C F F C
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
(C Am) C G Am Am
And tenement halls”. And whispered in the sounds of silence.
