Rem                        Do
    Hello darkness my old friend
                           Rem
I've come to talk with you again
          Fa          Sib      Fa
Because a vision softly creeping
                       Sib       Fa
Left his seeds while I was sleeping
        Sib                            Fa
And the vision that was planted in my brain
             Rem
Still remain
Fa            Do        Rem
   within the sound of silence.

                             Do
In restless dreams I walked alone
                          Rem
Narrow streets of coSibled stone
           Fa       Sib       Fa
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
                          Sib       Fa
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        Sib
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash
            Fa
of a neon light
                     Rem
That split the night
Fa                 Do        Rem
 and touched the sound of silence.

                         Do
And in the naked light I saw
                          Rem
Ten thousand people maybe more
       Fa           Sib       Fa
People talking without speaking
                   Sib        Fa
People hearing without listening
               Sib                      Fa
People writing songs that voices never share
                Rem
And no one dare
Fa             Do       Rem
    disturb the sound of silence

                        Do
Fools said I you do not know
                      Rem
Silence like a cancer grow
        Fa            Sib          Fa
Hear my words that I might teach you
                   Sib          Fa
Take my arm that I might reach you
       Sib                          Fa
But my words like silent raindrops fell
Rem       Fa             Do       Rem
     and echoed in the well of silence

                         Do
And the people bowed and prayed
                     Rem
To the neon god they made
        Fa                Sib      Fa
And the sign flashed out its warning
                     Sib      Fa
In the words that it was forming

And the sign said
    Sib
The words of the prophets are written
            Fa
on the subway walls
                   Rem
And tenement halls
    Fa                Do        Rem
and whispered in the sound of silence
