Am G
Hello darkness, my old friend,
Am
I've come to talk with you again,
C F C
Because a vision softly creeping,
F C
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.
Am G
In restless dreams I walked alone
Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
C F C
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
F C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
F C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Am
That split the night
C G Am
And touched the sound of silence.
Am G
And in the naked light I saw
Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
C F C
People talking without speaking,
F C
People hearing without listening,
F C
People writing songs that voices never share
Am
And no one dared
C 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
Hear my words that I might teach you,
G C
Take my arms that I might reach you."
F C
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
Am C
And echoed
G Am
In the wells of silence
G
And the people bowed and prayed
Am
To the neon god they made.
C F C
And the sign flashed out its warning,
F C
In the words that it was forming.
F C
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
Am
And tenement halls."
C G Am
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
