Tuning: EADGBE

Em D

Hello darkness, my old friend,

Em

I've come to talk with you again,

C G

Because a vision soft creeping,

Em C G

Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,

C C/G G

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Em

Still remains

D Em

Within the sound of silence.

Em D

In restless dreams I walked alone

Em

Narrow streets of cobblestone,

Em C G

'Neath the halo of a street lamp,

Em C G

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

C

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon

G

light

Em

That split the night

D Em

And touched the sound of silence.

Em D

And in the naked light I saw

Em

Ten thousand people, maybe more.

Em C G

People talking without speaking,

Em C G

People hearing without listening,

C G

People writing songs that voices never share

Em

And no one dare

D Em

Disturb the sound of silence.

Em D

Fools said i, you do not know

Em

Silence like a cancer grows.

Em C G

Hear my words that I might teach you,

Em C G

Take my arms that I might reach you.

C G

But my words like silent raindrops fell,

Em

And echoed

D Em

In the wells of silence

Em D

And the people bowed and prayed

Em

To the neon God they made.

Em C G

And the sign flashed out it's warning,

Em C G

In the words that it was forming.

Em C

And the sign said, the words of the prophets

C G

Are written on the subway walls

Em

And tenement halls.

D Em

And whispered in the sounds of silence.

"Live Long and Prosper"
