[Intro]
Am

[Verse]
Am                     G
Hello darkness, my old friend,
                            Am
I've come to talk with you again
                     F       C
Because a vision softly creeping,
                        F        C
left it's 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]
Am                           G
In restless dreams I walked alone,
                         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,
                G        Am
and touched the sound of silence.

[Verse]
Am                       G
And in the naked light I saw,
                           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 dare,
            G        Am
disturb the sound of silence.

[Verse]
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                           C     Am
But my words like silent raindrops fell,

and echoed
       G        Am
in the wells of silence

[Verse]
Am                       G
And the people bowed and prayed,
                     Am
to the neon God they made.
                         F       C
And the sign flashed out it's 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;
             Am
and tenement halls.
                     G     \   Am
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
