REm DO REm
Hello darkness my old friend I’ve cone to talk with you again
FA SIb FA SIb FA
because a vision softly_ creeping left its seeds with I wa_s sleeping
SIb FA REm FA DO REm
and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence
REm DO REm
In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobble stone
FA SIb FA SIb FA
‘neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp
SIb FA
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of the neon light
REm FA DO REm
that split the night and touched the sound of silence
REm DO REm
And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people may be more
FA SIb FA SIb FA
people talking without speaking people hearing without listening
SIb FA REm FA DO REm
people writing songs that voices never share and no one dare disturb the sound of silence
REm DO REm
Fools, said I, you do not know silence like a cancer grows
FA SIb FA SIb
hear my words that I mi_ght teach you take my arms that I mi_ght reach you
SIb FA REm FA DO REm
but my words like silence raindrop fell and echoed in the wells of silence
REm DO REm
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
FA SIb FA SIb FA
and the sign flashed out its warning in the words that it was forming
SIb FA
and the signs said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
REm FA DO REm
and tenement halls and wispered in the sounds of silence
