    1. Hello darkness my old friend
                                    Dmi
       I've come to talk with you again
                  F              Bb F
       because a vision softly creeping
                                   Bb F
       left it seeds while I was sleeping
                Bb                             F
       and the vision that was planted in my brain
                  Dmi   F          C        Dmi
       still remains within the sound of silence.
    2. In restless dreams I walked alone
       narrow streets of cobble-stone
       neath the halo of a street lamp
       I turned my collar to the cold and damp
       when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
       that spilt the night and touched the sound of silence.
    3. And in the naked light I saw
       ten thousand people maybe more
       people talking without speaking
       people hearing without listening
       people writing songs that voices never share
       and no one dare disturb the sound of silence.
    4. "Fools!" said I "you do not know
       silence like a cancer grows
       hear my words that I might teach you
       take my armsthat I might reach you."
       But my words like silent raindrops fell
       and echoed in the wells of silence.
    5. And the people bowed and prayed
       to the neon god they made
       and the sign flashed out its warning
       in the words that it was forming and the sign said:
       "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
       and tenament halls" and whisper'd in the sound of silence.
