Hello darkness, my old friend,
Em
I've come to talk with you again,
C G
Because a visions softly creeping,
C G
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
C
And the vision that was planted
G Em
in to my brain, still remains
G D Em
Within the sound of silence
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 by a neon light
Em
That split the night
G D Em
And touched the sound of silence
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
Em
And no one dare
G D Em
Disturb the sound of silence
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 Em
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
G
And echoed
D Em
In the walls of silence
D
And the people bowed and prayed
Em
To the neon god they'd made
C G
And the sign flashed out is warning,
C G
In the words that is was forming
C
And the sign said the words of the prophets
G
Are written on the subway walls
Em
And tenement halls
G D Em
And whisper'd in the sound of silence.
