Hello darkness my old friend
                            Asus2
I've come to talk with you again
                 C    F     C(sus4)
Because a vision softly creeping
                       F       C(sus4)
Left its seeds while I was sleeping

          F                             C
  And the vision that was planted in my brain
  F       C     b Am  C
  Still remains
             Gsus2    Asus2    Am (reste)
  Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone                          (rentre)
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp

  When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
  That split the night
  And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening

  People writing songs that voices never share
  And no one dared
  Disturb the sound of silence

Fools said "I you do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"

  But my words like silent raindrops fell
  (   )
  And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming

  And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
  And tenement halls
  And whispered in the sounds of silence"

Am
