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

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

And
in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more,
C F C Am
F

People
talking without speaking, people hearing without listening,
F
C
Am C
People
writing songs that voices never share, and no one dare,
G Am
Disturb
the sound of silence.

"Fools!"
said I, "You do not know, silence like a cancer grows."
C F C
Am
F C
"Hear
my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you."
F
C Am
But
my words like silent raindrops fell,
C G Am
and
echoed in the wells of silence.
Am
G

And
the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made,
C F
C
Am
F C
And
the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming,
F
And
the signs said "The words of the prophets are written
C
Am
On
the subway walls, and tenement halls"
C
G Am
And
whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
