Capo III

[Intro]
Cm

[Verse]
Cm                     A#
Hello darkness, my old friend,
                            Cm
I've come to talk with you again
                     G#       D#
Because a vision softly creeping,
                        G#        D#
left it's seeds while I was sleeping
        G#                              D#
And the vision, that was planted in my brain,
        Cm
still remains,
           A#        Cm
within the sound of silence.

[Verse]
Cm                           A#
In restless dreams I walked alone,
                         Cm
narrow streets of cobblestone
                   G#        D#
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
                          G#        D#
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        G#                                        D#
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light,
               Cm
that split the night,
                A#        Cm
and touched the sound of silence.

[Verse]
Cm                       A#
And in the naked light I saw,
                           Cm
ten thousand people, maybe more.
                   G#       D#
People talking without speaking
                   G#        D#
People hearing without listening
               G#                       D#
People writing songs that voices never share,
           Cm
and no one dare,
            A#        Cm
disturb the sound of silence.

[Verse]
Cm                      A#
Fools said I you do not know,
                      Cm
silence like a cancer grows.
                     G#           D#
Hear my words that I might teach you,
                    G#           D#
take my arms that I might reach you.
       G#                           D#     Cm
But my words like silent raindrops fell,

and echoed
       A#        Cm
in the wells of silence

[Verse]
Cm                       A#
And the people bowed and prayed,
                     Cm
to the neon God they made.
                         G#       D#
And the sign flashed out it's warning,
                     G#      D#
in the words that it was forming.
                       G#
And the sign said, the words of the prophets,
                          D#
are written on the subway walls;
             Cm
and tenement halls.
                     A#     \   Cm
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
