Dm (you know the riff)
Dm C Dm
Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again
F Bb F Bb F
Because a vision softly creeping, left it's seeds while I was sleeping
Bb F Dm
And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains
F C Dm
Within the Sound of Silence
C Dm
In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone
F Bb F Bb F
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp
Bb F
When my eyes where stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Dm F C Dm
That split the night, and touched the sound of silence
C Dm
And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe more
F Bb F Bb F
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening
Bb F Dm
People writing songs that voices never shared, and no one dared
C Dm
Disturb the sound of silence
C Dm
"Fools" said I, "You do not know. Silence like a cancer grows.
F Bb F Bb F
Hear my words that I might teach you. Take my arms that I might reach you."
Bb F Dm
But my words like silent raindrops fell
F C Dm
And echoed in the wells of silence.
C Dm
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
F Bb F Bb F
And the sign flashed out it's warning in the words that it was forming
Bb F
And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
Dm F C Dm
And tenement halls, and whispered in the sounds of silence."
