(465   6 5     6     5    6) ---200(4656)---220(56)
     Hello darkness my old friend
-200(5646    5       6   -220(56    4   6)-422(4656)-432(56)
                  I've come to talk with you again
-422(5646    5       6)-432(5646) -433         -232
                Because a vision . . . . . softly creeping
                                -433     -232
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
             -433                                    -232
And the vision that was planted in my brain
          -422(4656)-432(56)-422(5646)
Still remains
-422(4656) -200(4656)-220(5646) -422(4656)-432(56)-422(5646)
Within the sound . . . . . . . . . . . . . of silence

                                            A|-|||-A4A|                                       Bm|-|||-|||
In restless dreams I walked alone . . . . . . narrow streets of cobblestone
                            G         D                                           G            D
'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp
                G                                    Em7                D
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
                       D-0-Bm                            A         Bm|-|||-|||
It split the night . . . . . . . .and touched the sound of silence

                                    A|-|||-A4A|                                             Bm|-|||-|||
And in the naked light I saw . . . . . . ten thousand people maybe more
                            G            D                                  G          D
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening
                      G              Em7             D
People writing songs that voices never share
                          D-0-Bm                     A            Bm|-|||-|||
And no one dare . . . . . . . . disturb the sound of silence

                                            A|-|||-A4A|                                  Bm|-|||-|||
The fool said ahh you do not know . . . . . silence like a cancer grows
                                 G                D                                  G                D
Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you
            G               Em7                D D 0 Bm                          A         Bm|-|||-|||
But my words, like silent raindrops fell . . . . and echoed in the wells of silence

                                           A|-|||-A4A|                                  Bm|-|||-|||
And the people bowed and prayed . . . . to the neon god they made
                                     G         D                               G          D
And the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming
                                G                                      Em7                          D
And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
                        D-0-Bm                             A(sust.) -422 -422 -432 -422
And tenement halls . . . and whispered in the sounds of silence
