Am                    G
Hello darkness my old friend
                           Am
I've come to talk with you again
                 F      C
Because I vision softly creeping
                        F       C
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
        F                             
And the vision that was 
              C
planted in my brain     
        Am
still remains
           A         Am
Within the sounds of silence
Am                          G
In restless dreams I walked along
                         Am
Narrow streets of cobblestones
                   F       C
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
                          F        C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
F     
When my eyes were stabbed by the 
F               C
flash of a neon light     
          Am
Split the night
                G         Am
And touched the sounds of silence
Am                       G
And in the naked light I saw
                          Am
Ten thousand people maybe more
                   F        C
People talking without speaking
                   F        C
People hearing without listening
               F
People writing songs, 
                  G
that voices never share
       Am
No one dared
Am          G        Am
Disturb the sound of silence
Am                      G
Fools said I you do not know
                      Am
Silence like a cancer grows
C                    F           C        
Here my words that I might reach you
                    F           C
Take my arms that I might teach you
       F                           C
But my words like silent raindrops fell
         G       Am
Echo the well of silence
                         G
And the people bowed and prayed
                     Am 
To the neon god they made
                         F       C
And the sign flashed out it's warning
                     F      C
In the words that it was forming
C 
And the sign said the 
F
words of the phrophets are 
F                     C
written on the subway walls
             AM
And tenement halls
                     G
And whispered in the sounds 
   Am
of silence
