Intro: [Am]

Am                      G
 Hello darkness, my old friend
G                            Am
 I've come to talk with you again
Am                     F -   C -
 Because a vision softly creeping
C                         F -     C
 Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
        F               F             C
And the vision that was planted in my brain
       Am    Am  -       G        Am     
Still remains within the sound of silence



Am>Let ring                   G
 In restless dreams I walked alone
G                         Am
 Narrow streets of cobblestone
Am                 F -      C -
 Neath the halo of a street lamp
C                          F -      C
 I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        F                        F               C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
               Am   Am  -            G        Am
That split the night and touched the sound of silence



Am                        G
 And in the naked light I saw
G                           Am
 Ten thousand people, maybe more
Am                  F -     C -
 People talking without speaking
C                   F -      C   -
 People hearing without listening
C               F          F             C
 People writing songs that voices never share
           Am  Am  -        G        Am     
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence



Am                        G
 Fools said I, you do not know
G                      Am
 Silence like a cancer grows
Am                    F -         C -
 Hear my words that I might teach you
C                    F -         C
 Take my arms that I might reach you
       F          F                C    C -
But my words like silent raindrops fell
Am - C             G        Am     
 And echoed in the wells of silence



Am                        G
 And the people bowed and prayed
G                     Am
 To the neon God they made
Am                        F -     C -
 And the sign flashed out it's warning
C                     F -     C   -
 In the words that it was forming
C                      F                         F                     C
 And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
             C  -   Am - 
And tenement halls
    C               G>let ring Am>let ring     
And whisperd in the sounds of  silence
