Am                   G 
 Hello darkness my old friend
                              Am   C 
 I've come to talk with you again
                      F       C 
 Because a vision softly creeping
                      F       C 
 Left it seed while I was sleeping
         F                            C 
 And the vision that was planted in my brain
             Am   C 
 Still remains
            G        Am 
 Within the sound of silence...


 In restless dreams I walked alone
 Narrow streets of Coblestone
 Near the halo of a street lamp
 I turned my color to the cold and damp
 When my eyes were stabbed
 By the flash of a neon light
 That slip 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 heaving without listening
 People writting songs that voices never share
 And no one dare
 Disturb the sound of silence...

 Fool said I do not know
 Silence like a cancer grows
 Hear my words that I might teach you
 Take my arms that I might teach you
 But my words like silent rain drops fell
 And echoes
 In the wells of silence...

 And the people bowed and prayed
 To the neon God they made
 And the signs flash its warning
 In the words that I was forming
 And the signs said the words of the prophets
 Are written on the subway walls
 and tenement halls
 And whispered in the sound of silence
