F#m                    E
Hello darkness, my old friend

                           F#m
I've come to talk with you again

                      D     A
Because a vision softly creeping

                       D       A
Left its seeds while I was sleeping

        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

                          D        A
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

        D                                        A
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

               F#m  A
That split the night

                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                       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                           A        F#m  A
But my words like silent raindrops fell

                  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

    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
