 Em                        D 
   Hello darkness, my old friend,
                           Em 
I've come to talk with you again,
     G                C       G 
Because a vision softly creeping,
                       C       G 
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
        C                             G 
And the vision that was planted in my brain
            G/F#  Em 
Still remains
 G           D        Em 
Within the sound of silence.
 
[Verse 2]
                             D 
In restless dreams I walked alone
                        Em 
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
   G                C        G 
'neath the halo of a street lamp,
         G                 C        G 
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        C                                        G 
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
                    G/F#  Em 
That split the night
 G              D        Em 
And touched the sound of silence.
 
[Verse 3]
                         D 
And in the naked light I saw
                           Em 
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
   G                C       G 
People talking without speaking,
                   C        G 
People hearing without listening,
               C                       G 
People writing songs that voices never share
              G/F#  Em 
And no one dare
 G           D        Em 
Disturb the sound of silence.
 
[Verse 4]
                         D 
Fools said I, you do not know
    G                  Em 
Silence like a cancer grows.
                     C           G 
Hear my words that I might teach you,
                    C           G 
Take my arms that I might reach you.
       C                           G   G/F#  Em 
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
   G 
And echoed
       D        Em 
In the wells of silence
 
[Verse 5]
                         D 
And the people bowed and prayed
                     Em 
To the neon God they made.
  G                       C      G 
And the sign flashed out its warning,
                      C     G 
In the words that it was forming.
                       C 
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
                           G 
Are written on the subway walls
             G     G/F#  Em 
And tenement halls.
         G           D         Em 
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
