[Intro]
Bm

[Verse]
Bm                     A
Hello darkness, my old friend,
                            Bm
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,
        Bm
still remains,
           A        Bm
within the sound of silence.

[Verse]
Bm                           A
In restless dreams I walked alone,
                         Bm
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,
               Bm
that split the night,
                A        Bm
and touched the sound of silence.

[Verse]
Bm                       A
And in the naked light I saw,
                           Bm
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,
           Bm
and no one dare,
            A        Bm
disturb the sound of silence.

[Verse]
Bm                      A
Fools said I you do not know,
                      Bm
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     Bm
But my words like silent raindrops fell,

and echoed
       A        Bm
in the wells of silence

[Verse]
Bm                       A
And the people bowed and prayed,
                     Bm
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;
             Bm
and tenement halls.
                     A     \   Bm
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
