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