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