[Verse 1]
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/B Am
Still remains
C                G             Am
Within the sound of silence.

[Verse 2]
                                 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/B Am
That split the night
C                         G             Am
And touched the sound of silence.

[Verse 3]
                                        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/B Am
And no one dare
C                 G             Am
Disturb the sound of silence.

[Verse 4]
                                      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   C/B Am
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
     C
And echoed
          G              Am
In the wells of silence

[Verse 5]
                                             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
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
                                          C
Are written on the subway walls
                        C     C/B Am
And tenement halls.
                C               G               Am
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
