[Verse 1]
Am G
Hello darkness, my old friend
G Am
I've come to talk with you again
F C
Because a vision softly creeping
F C
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
F C
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Am
Still remains
G Am
Within the sound of silence
[Verse 2]
Am G
In restless dreams I walked alone
G Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone
F C
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
F C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
F C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Am
That split the night
C G Am
And touched the sound of silence
[Verse 3]
Am G
And in the naked light I saw
G Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more
F C
People talking without speaking
F C
People hearing without listening
F C
People writing songs that voices never share
Am
And no one dared
C G Am
Disturb the sound of silence
[Verse 4]
Am G
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
G 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 C Am
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
C
And echoed
G Am
In the wells of silence
[Verse 5]
Am G
And the people bowed and prayed
G 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 C
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
Am
And tenement halls"
C G Am
And whispered in the sounds of silence
