| Ebm C# |
| Hello darkness, my old friend |
| Ebm |
| I've come to talk with you again |
| B F# |
| Because a vision softly creeping |
| B F# |
| Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
| B |
| And the vision |
| F# |
| that was planted in my brain |
| F# Ebm F# |
| Still remains |
| C# Ebm |
| Within the sound of silence |
| Ebm C# |
| In restless dreams I walked alone |
| Ebm |
| Narrow streets of cobblestone |
| B F# |
| 'Neath the halo of a street lamp |
| F# |
| I turned my collar |
| B F# |
| to the cold and damp |
| B |
| When my eyes were stabbed |
| B F# |
| By the flash of a neon light |
| F# Ebm F# |
| That split the night |
| C# Ebm |
| And touched the sound of silence |
| Ebm C# |
| And in the naked light I saw |
| Ebm |
| Ten thousand people, maybe more |
| B F# |
| People talking without speaking |
| B F# |
| People hearing without listening |
| B |
| People writing songs |
| F# |
| That voices never share |
| F# Ebm F# |
| And no one dared |
| C# Ebm |
| Disturb the sound of silence |
| Ebm C# |
| "Fools," said I, "You do not know |
| Ebm |
| Silence like a cancer grows |
| B F# |
| Hear my words that I might teach you |
| B F# |
| Take my arms that I might reach you." |
| B |
| But my words |
| B F# Ebm |
| Like silent raindrops fell |
| F# C# Ebm |
| And echoed in the wells of silence |
| Bridge: |
| B B Ebm Ebm x2 |
| Ebm C# |
| And the people bowed and prayed |
| Ebm |
| To the neon god they made |
| B F# |
| And the sign flashed out its warning |
| B F# |
| In the words that it was forming |
| B |
| And the sign said, The words of the |
| B |
| Prophets are written |
| F# |
| on the subway walls |
| F# Ebm |
| And tenement halls |
| F# C# |
| And whispered in the sound |
| Ebm |
| of silence |
| Bridge: |
| B B Ebm Ebm x2 |
| Ending: |
| Ebm Ebm B B x2 |
