[Verse 1]
 
                       G
Hello darkness my old friend
G                            Am
 I've come to talk with you again
          C             F     C
Because a vision softly-y creeping
C                          F      C
 Left its seeds while I wa-as sleeping
C        F                             C
 And the vision that was planted in my brain
        C     C/B Am
Still remains
C           G        Am         Am
 Within the sound of silence
                              (break)
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
                              G
 In restless dreams I walked alone
G                        Am
 Narrow streets of cobblestone
Am          C         F        C
 'Neath the halo of a-a street lamp
C                          F        C
 I turned my collar to the cold and damp
C        F                                        C
 When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
               C     C/B Am
That split the night
C                G        Am
 And touched the sound of silence
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am                        G
 And in the naked light I saw
G                           Am
 Ten thousand people maybe more
Am      C           F       C
 People talking without speaking
C                      F       C
 People hearing withou-out listening
C               F                       C
 People writing songs that voices never share
           C     C/B  Am
And no one dare
C            G        Am
 Disturb the sound of silence
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Am                        G
 Fools said I you do not know
G                      Am
 Silence like a cancer grows
Am       C               F          C
 Hear my words that I mi-ight teach you
C                       F          C
 Take my arms that I mi-ight reach you
C       F                          |  C  | C  C/B Am    |
 But my words like silent raindrops fell
    C
And echoed
       G        Am
In the wells of silence
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
Am                        G
 And the people bowed and prayed
G                     Am
 To the neon God they made.
Am       C                  F      C
 And the sign flashed out i-its warning
C                        F     C
 In the words that it wa-as forming.
        C              F
And the sign said the words of the prophets
    F                     C
Are written on the subway walls
             C     C/B  Am
And tenement halls
    C                G     G       Asus2      Am
And whispered in the sounds ... of silence
