 Am                       G  
Hello darkness, my old friend, 
                          Am  
I've come to talk with you again, 
          C        F             C           
Because a vision softly creeping, 
                        F     C                   
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping, 
         F                              C  
And the vision that was planted in my brain 
       Am        
Still remains 
   C       G            Am                
Within the sound of silence. 

Verse 2:
 Am                           G          
In restless dreams I walked alone 
                         Am  
Narrow streets of cobblestone, 
           C               F  C  
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, 
                        F        C  
I turned my collar to the cold and damp               
  F
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a 
        C                     Am  
 neon light   That split the night 
           C      G        Am  
And touched the sound of silence. 

Verse 3:
 Am                      G  
And in the naked light I saw 
                           Am  
Ten thousand people, maybe more. 
         C              F     C  
People talking without speaking, 
                       F       C  
People hearing without listening, 
             F                       C  
People writing songs that voices never share 
           Am  
And no one dare 
  C           G        Am  
Disturb the sound of silence. 


Verse 4:
 Am                       G  
Fools said I, you do not know 
                      Am  
Silence like a cancer grows. 
                 C      F          C  
Hear my words that I might teach you, 
                 F               C  
Take my arms that I might reach you. 
         F               C           Am   
But my words like silent raindrops fell, 
       Am           G             Am  
And echoed    In the wells of silence 

Verse 5:
 Am                         G  
And the people bowed and prayed 
                      Am  
To the neon God they made. 
         C               F            C  
 And the sign flashed out it's 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 
               Am  
And tenement halls. 
        C            G           Am       
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
