[verse 1] Bm A Hello darkness, my old friend, Bm I've come to talk with you again, G D Because a vision softly creeping, G D Left its seeds while I was sleeping, G D And the vision that was planted in my brain D/C# Bm Still remains D A Bm Within the sound of silence. [verse 2] A In restless dreams I walked alone Bm Narrow streets of cobblestone, G D 'neath the halo of a street lamp, G D I turned my collar to the cold and damp G When my eyes were stabbed by D the flash of a neon light D/C# Bm That split the night D A Bm And touched the sound of silence. [verse 3] A And in the naked light I saw Bm Ten thousand people, maybe more. G D People talking without speaking, G D People hearing without listening, G D People writing songs that voices never share D/C# Bm And no one dare D A Bm Disturb the sound of silence. [verse 4] A Fools said I, you do not know Bm Silence like a cancer grows. G D Hear my words that I might teach you, G D Take my arms that I might reach you. G D D/C# Bm But my words like silent raindrops fell, D And echoed A Bm In the wells of silence [verse 5] A And the people bowed and prayed Bm To the neon God they made. G D And the sign flashed out its warning, G D In the words that it was forming. G And the sign said, the words of the prophets D Are written on the subway walls D D/C# And tenement halls. Bm A Bm And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
