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