[Intro]
| Asus2 | Am
(break)
[Verse 1]
G
Hello darkness my old friend
G Am
I've come to talk with you again
C F C
Because a vision softly-y creeping
C F C
Left its seeds while I wa-as sleeping
C F C
And the vision that was planted in my brain
C C/B Am
Still remains
C G Am Am
Within the sound of silence
(break)
[Verse 2]
G
In restless dreams I walked alone
G Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone
Am C F C
'Neath the halo of a-a street lamp
C F C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
C F C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
C C/B 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
Am C F C
People talking without speaking
C F C
People hearing withou-out listening
C F C
People writing songs that voices never share
C C/B Am
And no one dare
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
Am C F C
Hear my words that I mi-ight teach you
C F C
Take my arms that I mi-ight reach you
C F | C | C C/B 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.
Am C F C
And the sign flashed out i-its warning
C F C
In the words that it wa-as forming.
C F
And the sign said the words of the prophets
F C
Are written on the subway walls
C C/B Am
And tenement halls
C G G Asus2 Am
And whispered in the sounds ... of silence
