Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softl[C]y creep[G]ing left its seeds while I w[C]as sleep[G]ing
C G Em
And the vision that was planted in my brain ------------
Em D Em --0-0-0-0---
Still remains within the sound of silence ---2-0------

D Em ------------
In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone ------------
'Neath the halo of a[C] street l[G]amp I turned my collar to the c[C]old and d[G]amp
When my [C]eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon l[G]ight
Em G D Em
That split the night and touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I s[D]aw ten thousand people, mayb[Em]e more
People talking with[C]out speak[G]ing; people hearing with[C]out listen[G]ing
People writing s[C]ongs that voices never sh[G]are
Em D Em
And no one dared disturb the sound of silence
Fools said I, you do not[D] know, silence like a cancer g[Em]rows
Hear my words that I m[C]ight teach y[G]ou
Take my arms that I m[C]ight reach to y[G]ou
But my w[C]ords like silent raindrops f[G]ell[Em] and [G]echoed in the w[D]ells of [Em]silence
And the people bowed and pr[D]ayed to the neon god they m[Em]ade
And the sign flashed out [C]it's warn[G]ing and the words that it w[C]as form[G]ing
And the sign said the w[C]ords of the prophets are written on the subway w[G]alls
Em G Em D Em Em Em D Em
And tenement halls and whispered in the sound of silence
