[INTRO]

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

                            D
In restless dreams I walked alone
                        Em
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
                     C         G
'neath the halo of aaaa street lamp,
                          C        G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        C                                        G
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
               Em
That split the night
G                 D        Em
  And touched the sound of silence.

                         D
And in the naked light I saw
                           Em
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
                     C         G
People talking withooooout speaking,
                     C         G
People hearing withoooout listening,
               C                       G
People writing songs that voices never share
            Em
And no one dare
G             D        Em
  Disturb the sound of silence.

                         D
Fools said I, you do not know
                      Em
Silence like a cancer grows.
                        C            G
Hear my words that I miiiiight teach you,
                       C            G
Take my arms that I miiiiight reach you.
       C                           G       Em 
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
    G
And echoed
       D        Em
In the wells of silence

                         D
And the people bowed and prayed
                     Em
To the neon God they made.
                           C       G
And the sign flashed out iiiits warning,
                       C        G
In the words that it waaaas forming.
                       C
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
                          G
Are written on the subway walls
             Em
And tenement halls.
    G                D         Em
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.

   Hello darkness, my old friend,

I've come to talk with you again,

Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
        F                             C
And the vision that was planted in my brain
       Am
Still remains
C           G        Am
Within the sound of silence.

                            G
In restless dreams I walked alone
                        Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
                     F      C
'neath the halo of a street lamp,

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

People talking without speaking,

Silence like a cancer grows.
                           F     C
Hear my words that I might teach you,
                          F     C
Take my arms that I might reach you.
       F                           C       Am
