[Verse 1]
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 G
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Em D Em
Still remains within the sound of silence.
[Verse 2]
D
In restless dreams I walked alone
Em
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
C G
'neath the halo of a street lamp,
C G
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
C G
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Em D Em
That split the night and touched the sound of silence.
[Verse 3]
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 G
People writing songs that voices never share
Em D Em
And no one dare, disturb the sound of silence.
[Verse 4]
D
Fools said I, you do not know
Em
Silence like a cancer grows.
C G
Hear my words that I might teach you,
C G
Take my arms that I might reach you.
C G
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
Em D Em
And echoed in, in the wells of silence
[Verse 5]
D
And the people bowed and prayed
Em
To the neon God they made.
C G
And the sign flashed out it's warning,
C G
In the words that it was forming.
C G
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenement halls.
Em D Em
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
