[Am]
Hello darkness my [G] old friend
I've come to talk with you [Am] again
Because a vision softly [Dm] [F] creeping
[C] Left its seeds while I [F] was sleeping
[C] And [F] the vision that was planted in my
[Am] Still rimmers [C] within the sound of silence
[D]
In restless [Am] dreams [G] I walked alone
Narrow streets of [Am] cobblestone
Neat the halo of [F] a haystreet [C] man
Returned my color to [F] the cold and [C] damp
My [F] eyes were stabbed by the flash of an aeon [C] light
That split [Am] the [A]
[C] night
And touched [G] the sound [Am] of silence
[C] And in the naked light [G] I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe [Am] more
People talking [F] without speaking
[C]
People hearing [F] without [C] listening
People writing [F]
songs
My voices never
[C] share
And no [Am] one
[C] [G] dared
[Am] Disturb [G] the sound [Am] of silence
Said I do [G] not know
It's like a cancer [A] [Am] grows
You don't learn words that I [F] might teach [C]
you
Take my arms and I [F] might [C] reach you
But [F] my words like silent raindrops [C] fade
[Am]
[C] Hanging low in [G] the world of
[D] [Am] [A] silence
[Am] And the people bowed [G] and prayed
To the neon [Am] called a name
And the sign flashed out [F] [C] its glory
In the words that it [F] was forming
[C]
And the sign said [F] the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway
[C] walls
And [Am] tenement
[C] halls
[Am] And whispered in [G] the sound
