Hello darkness, wild [D#] friend
[C#] I've come to talk with you [F] again
Because [F#] a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[B] And the vision that was planted in [F#] my brain
Still [D#m] remains
[F#] [C#] Within the sound [F] of [D#m] silence
In restless [C#] dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone
Meet the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp
I turned my color to a cold and damp
[B] When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a [F#] neon light
Split the night
And [C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence
And in the naked light [C#] I saw
Ten thousand people [D#m] leaving home
People talking [F#] without speaking
People hearing without listening
People [B] writing songs
That voices [F#] never shake
No one dared
[D#m] [F#] To spell [C#] the sound of [D#m] silence
Who said I need [C#] to unknow
Silence like [D#m] a cancer grows
Hear my [B] words and I [F#] might teach you
You take my [B] hand then I [F#] might reach you
But [B] my words like silent raindrops [F#] fail
And echo [C#] in the will [D#m] of silence
And the people [C#] bowed and prayed
To the [D#m] neon god they made
And the [B] sign flashed out [F#] its warning
In the words that it was for me
And the sign said [B] the words of a prophet
Are written on the subway [F#] walls
And the children's [D#m] halls
[F#] In this world
[C#] In the sound of silence
[A#] [D#]
[C#] I've come to talk with you [F] again
Because [F#] a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[B] And the vision that was planted in [F#] my brain
Still [D#m] remains
[F#] [C#] Within the sound [F] of [D#m] silence
In restless [C#] dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone
Meet the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp
I turned my color to a cold and damp
[B] When my eyes were stabbed
By the flash of a [F#] neon light
Split the night
And [C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence
And in the naked light [C#] I saw
Ten thousand people [D#m] leaving home
