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