The Sound Of Silence

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 its seeds while I was sleeping
                        F                                                                              C  
And the vision that was planted in my brain
                        C         C/B  Am  C  
Still remains
C                            G                    Am  
Within the sound of silence
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
                                          C         C/B  Am  C  
That split the night
C                                         G                    Am  
And touched the sound of silence
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
                                C      C/B  Am  C  
And no one dared
C                              G                    Am  
Disturb the sound of silence
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  
But my words like silent raindrops fell
Am    C                                              G                         Am  
          And echoed in the wells of silence
Am                                                                 G  
And the people bowed and prayed
                                                        Am  
To the neon god they made
                                                                  F                 C  
And the sign flashed out its warning
                                                          F              C  
In the words that it was forming
                                                                F                                                                                                                            C  
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
                                     C         C/B  Am  
And tenement halls"
                C                                      G                      Am  
And whispered in the sounds of silence
