[Verse 1]
Dm                        C
   Hello darkness, my old friend

                           Dm
I've come to talk with you again

                    Bb      F
Because a vision softly creeping

                       Bb      F
Left its seeds while I was sleeping

        Bb                            F
And the vision that was planted in my brain

              Dm   F
Still remains

           C        Dm
Within the sound of silence
[Verse 2]
                             C
In restless dreams I walked alone

                        Dm
Narrow streets of cobblestone

                   Bb       F
'neath the halo of a street lamp

                          Bb       F
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

        Bb                                       F
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

                     Dm    F
That split the night

                C        Dm
And touched the sound of silence
[Verse 3]
                         C
And in the naked light I saw

                           Dm
Ten thousand people, maybe more

                 Bb        F
People talking without speaking

                 Bb         F
People hearing without listening

               Bb                      F
People writing songs that voices never share

                Dm    F
And no one dare

            C        Dm
Disturb the sound of silence
[Verse 4]
                             C
"Fools", said I, "You do not know

                      Dm
Silence like a cancer grows

                     Bb          F
Hear my words that I might teach you

                    Bb          F
Take my arms that I might reach you"

       Bb                          F    Dm
But my words like silent raindrops fell

    F
And echoed

       C        Dm
In the wells of silence
[Verse 5]
                         C
And the people bowed and prayed

                     Dm
To the neon god they made

                         Bb     F
And the sign flashed out its warning

                     Bb     F
In the words that it was forming

                        Bb
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets

                          F
Are written on the subway walls

                    Dm
And tenement halls"

    F                C         Dm
And whispered in the sounds of silence
