Am G |
Hello darkness, my old friend |
Am |
I've come to talk with you again |
F C |
Because a vision softly creeping |
F C |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
F |
And the vision that was planted |
C |
In my brain |
C/B Am |
Still remains |
C G Am |
Within the sound of silence |
G |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
Am |
Narrow streets of cobblestone |
F C |
'neath the halo of a street lamp |
I turned my collar |
F C |
To the cold and damp |
F |
When my eyes were stabbed |
C |
By the flash of a neon light |
C/B Am |
That split the night |
C G Am |
And touched the sound of silence |
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 |
C |
That voices never share |
C/B Am |
And no one dare |
C G Am |
Disturb the sound of silence |
G |
Fools said I, you do not know |
Am |
Silence like a cancer grows |
F C |
Hear my word that I might teach you |
F C |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
F |
But my words like silent |
C C/B Am |
Raindrops fell |
C |
And echoed |
G Am |
In the wells of silence |
G |
And the people bowed and prayed |
Am |
To the neon God they made |
F C |
And the sign flashed out it warning |
F C |
In the words that it was forming |
And the sign said |
F |
The words of the prophets |
C |
Are written on the subway walls |
C C/B Am |
And tenement halls |
C G |
And whisper'd in the sounds |
Am |
Of silence |
