Verse 1: Am G Hello darkness, my old friend Am I've come to talk with you again C F C Because a vision softly creeping Am C F C Left its seeds while I was sleeping F C And the vision that was planted in my brain G Am C Am Still remains 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 Am C 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 G Am C Am That split the night 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 Am C F C People hearing without listening F C People writing songs that voices never shared G Am C Am And no one dared 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 Am C F C Take my arms that I might reach you" F C Am But my words like silent raindrops fell C 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 its warning Am C F C In the words that it was forming F C And the sign said "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls G Am C Am And tenement halls and whispered in the sound of silence"
