⠀ Hello darkness my old friend,
| G | | Am |
⠀ I’ve come to talk with you again.
| Am Am/G | | F C |
⠀ Because a vision softly creeping
| C | | F C | 2/4 | C | 4/4
⠀ Left it’s seed while I was sleeping,
⠀ | F | | F | | C |
And the vision that was planted in my brain
⠀ | C Am | 2/4 | C | 4/4
Still remains
⠀ | G | | Am |
Within the sounds of silence.
| Am | | G |
⠀ In restless dreams I walked alone,
| G | | Am |
⠀ Narrow streets of cobble stone.
| Am Am/G | | F C |
⠀ ‘Neath the halo of a street lamp,
| C | | F C | 2/4 | C | 4/4
⠀ I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
⠀ | F | | F | | C |
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
⠀ | C Am | 2/4 | C | 4/4
That split the night
⠀ | G | | Am |
And touched the sounds of silence.
| Am | | G |
⠀ And in the naked light I saw
| G | | Am |
⠀ Ten thousand people, maybe more.
| Am Am/G | | F C |
⠀ People talking without speaking,
| C | | F C | 2/4 | C | 4/4
⠀ People hearing without listening,
⠀ | F | | F | | C |
People writing songs that voices never shared,
⠀ | C Am | 2/4 | C | 4/4
And no one dared
⠀ | G | | Am |
Disturb the sounds of silence.
| Am | | G |
⠀ “Fools!” said I, “you do not know,
| G | | Am |
⠀ Silence like a cancer grows.
| Am Am/G | | F C |
⠀ Hear my words that I might teach you,
| C | | F C | 2/4 | C | 4/4
⠀ Take my arms that might reach you.”
⠀ | F | | F | | C | C Am |
But my words like silent raindrops fell
⠀ | C | | G | | Am |
And echoed in the wells of silence.
| Am | | G |
⠀ And the people bowed and prayed
| G | | Am |
⠀ To the neon gods they made.
| Am Am/G | | F C |
⠀ And the sign flashed its warning,
| C | | F C | | C |
⠀ In the words that it was forming,
⠀ | F |
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are
⠀ | F | | C | | C Am |
Written on the subway walls And tenement halls.”
⠀ | C | | G | | Am |
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
