[E] Hello darkness [D] my old friend, I've come to talk with [Em] you again
Because a vision [C] softly [G] creeping, left its seeds while [C] I was [G] sleeping
And [C] the vision that was planted in my [G] brain, still remains
[Em] [G]
[D] Within the [Em] sound of silence
In restless dreams I [D] walked alone, through narrow streets of [Em] cobblestone
Kneeling ahead of [C] a fast [G] street lamp, I turned my collar [C] to the cold [G] and damp
[C] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [G] light
That split the night, [Em] [G] in [D] touch with sound [Em] of silence
And in the naked [D] light I saw, ten thousand people [Em] maybe more
People talking [C] without [G] speaking, people hearing [C] without [G] listening
People writing [C] songs, that voices never [G] share, no one [Em] dared
[G] This [D] turned the sound [Em] of silence, who said I do [D] not know
Silence like a [Em] cancer grows, hear my words that I [C] might teach [G] you
Take my arms that I [C] might reach [G] you, but [C] my words like sand in a raindrop [G] spell
[Em] [G] And echoed in [D] the wells [Em] of silence
And the people [D] bowed in pain, to the neon god [Em] they made
And the sign flashed out [C] its [G] warning, in the words that it [C] was [G] forming
And the sign said, [C] the words of the prophet are written on the subway [G] walls
And the ground it falls, [Em]
[G] through the swirl of [D] the sounds [Em] of silence
Because a vision [C] softly [G] creeping, left its seeds while [C] I was [G] sleeping
And [C] the vision that was planted in my [G] brain, still remains
[Em] [G]
[D] Within the [Em] sound of silence
In restless dreams I [D] walked alone, through narrow streets of [Em] cobblestone
Kneeling ahead of [C] a fast [G] street lamp, I turned my collar [C] to the cold [G] and damp
[C] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [G] light
That split the night, [Em] [G] in [D] touch with sound [Em] of silence
And in the naked [D] light I saw, ten thousand people [Em] maybe more
People talking [C] without [G] speaking, people hearing [C] without [G] listening
People writing [C] songs, that voices never [G] share, no one [Em] dared
[G] This [D] turned the sound [Em] of silence, who said I do [D] not know
Silence like a [Em] cancer grows, hear my words that I [C] might teach [G] you
Take my arms that I [C] might reach [G] you, but [C] my words like sand in a raindrop [G] spell
[Em] [G] And echoed in [D] the wells [Em] of silence
And the people [D] bowed in pain, to the neon god [Em] they made
And the sign flashed out [C] its [G] warning, in the words that it [C] was [G] forming

And the ground it falls, [Em]
[G] through the swirl of [D] the sounds [Em] of silence
