For the original Ton - Capo in fret 5
Capo on 6 fret |
Intro: |
E B G B E B G B |
Em D |
Hello darkness, my old friend |
Em |
I've come to talk with you again |
C G |
Because a vision softly creeping |
C G |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
C |
And the vision that was planted |
G |
In my brain |
G/F# Em |
Still remains |
G D Em |
Within the sound of silence |
D |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
Em |
Narrow streets of cobblestone |
C G |
'neath the halo of a street lamp |
I turned my collar |
C G |
To the cold and damp |
C |
When my eyes were stabbed |
G |
By the flash of a neon light |
G/F# Em |
That split the night |
G D Em |
And touched the sound of silence |
D |
And in the naked light I saw |
Em |
Ten thousand people, maybe more |
C G |
People talking without speaking |
C G |
People hearing without listening |
C |
People writing songs |
G |
That voices never share |
G/F# Em |
And no one dare |
G D Em |
Disturb the sound of silence |
D |
Fools said I, you do not know |
Em |
Silence like a cancer grows |
C G |
Hear my word that I might teach you |
C G |
Take my arms that I might reach you |
C |
But my words like silent |
G G/F# Em |
Raindrops fell |
G |
And echoed |
D Em |
In the wells of silence |
D |
And the people bowed and prayed |
Em |
To the neon God they made |
C G |
And the sign flashed out it warning |
C G |
In the words that it was forming |
And the sign said |
C |
The words of the prophets |
G |
Are written on the subway walls |
G G/F# Em |
And tenement halls |
G D |
And whisper'd in the sounds |
Em |
Of silence |
