[N] Hello darkness,
[Dm] my [G] old [C] friend
I've come to talk with you [Dm]
again
Because [Am] a vision [Dm] softly creeping
[F]
Left its seeds while [Bb] I was sleeping
[F]
[Bb] And the vision that was planted in [F] my brain
[Dm] Still remains [C] within the sound of silence
[Am]
[Dm] In restless dreams I [C] walked alone
Narrow streets of [Dm] cobblestone
[G]
[Dm] [Am] Near [Dm] the halo [Bb] of a street [F]
lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When [Bb] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of [C] a [F] neon
It stripped [Dm] the night and [C] touched the sound of [Dm] [C] silence
[Dm] For [Db]
said [Dm] I do [C] not know
Silence like a cancer [Dm]
grows
Hear my words that I [Bb] might teach you
[F] Take my arms that [Bb] I might reach you
[F]
[Bb] But my words like silent raindrops [F] fell
[Dm]
And echoed in [C] the wells of [Dm] silence
In [C]

[Dm]
the naked [C] light I saw
Ten thousand people, [Dm] maybe more
People talking [Bb] without
[F] speaking
People hearing [Bb] without listening
[F]
People writing [Bb]
songs that voices
[C] never [F] share
And [Dm] no one dared disturb [C] the sound of [Dm]
silence
And the people [C] bowed and prayed
To the neon [Dm] god they made
And the sign flashed [Bb] out its [F] warning
In the words that it [Bb] was [F] warning
And the signs say [Bb] the words of prophets
Are written [C] on subway [F] walls and [Dm] tenement halls
And touch the [C] sound of [Dm] silence
[Dm] my [G] old [C] friend
I've come to talk with you [Dm]
again
Because [Am] a vision [Dm] softly creeping
