D#m                    C#  
Hello darkness my old friend 
                         D#m 
I ve come to talk to you again 
                        B          F# 
because a vision softly is creeping 
         D#m            B          F# 
left its seeds while I was sleeping 
        B                             F#           D#m 
and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains 
           C#       D#m 
within the sound of silence 

D#m                         C#  
In restless dreams I walked alone 
                         D#m 
narrow streets of cobble-stone 
                  B        F# 
Neath the halo of a street lamp 
            D#m           B        F# 
I turned my collar to the cold and damp 
         B                                        F# 
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light 
               D#m                    C#       D#m 
that split the night and touched the sound of silence 

D#m                       C#  
And in the naked light I saw 
                         D#m 
ten thousand people maybe more 
                    B        F# 
people talking without speaking 
         D#m        B        F# 
people hearing without listening 
                 B                      F# 
people writing songs that voices never share 
            D#m              C#       D#m 
and no-one dare disturb the sound of silence 

D#m                       C#  
Fools said I you do not know 
                       D#m 
silence like a cancer grows 
                       B        F# 
hear my words that I might teach you 
        D#m          B        F# 
take my arms that I might reach you 
         B                          F#   D#m  
But my words like silent raindrops fell 
                   C#       D#m 
and echoed in the wells of silence 

D#m                       C#  
And the people bowed and prayed 
                       D#m 
to the neon god they d made 
                           B      F# 
And the sign flashed out its warning 
        D#m           B        F# 
in the words that it was forming 
                         B            
And the sign said the words of the prophets are written 
               F#                 D#m  
in the subway walls and tenement halls 
                       C#        D#m 
and whispered in the sound - of silence
