Hello darkness, my old friend
Em
I've come to talk with you again
C G
Because a vision softly creeping
C G
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
C G
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Em D4 G
Still remains
G D Em
Within the sound of silence
Em D
In restless dreams I walked alone
Em
Narrow streets of cobblestone
C G
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
C G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
C G
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
G Em D4 G
That split the night
G D Em
And touched the sound of silence
Em D
And in the naked light I saw
Em
Ten thousand people, maybe more
C G
People talking without speaking
C G
People hearing without listening
C G
People writing songs that voices never share
G Em D4 G
And no one dare
G D Em
Disturb the sound of silence
Em D
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Em
Silence like a cancer grows
C G
Hear my words that I might teach you,
C G
Take my arms that I might reach you"
C G
But my words like silent raindrops fell
Em G D Em
And echoed in the wells of silence
Em D
And the people bowed and prayed
Em
To the neon god they made
C G
And the sign flashed out its warning
C G
In the words that it was forming
C G
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
G Em D4 G
And tenement halls"
G D Em
And whispered in the sounds of silence
