The sound of silence

Am                        G
   Hello darkness, my old friend,
                            Am
I ve come to talk with you again,
                      F      C
because a vision softly creeping,
                        F       C
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
        F                             C
and the vision that was planted in my brain
            C
Still remains
           G        Am
Within the sound of silence.

G
In restless dreams I walked alone
                        Am
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
                    F        C
 neath the halo of a street lamp,
                          F         C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        F                                         C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
                    C
That split the night
                G        Am
and touched the sound of silence.

G
and in the naked light I saw
                           Am
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
                    F       C
People talking without speaking,
                    F       C
People hearing without listening,
               F                         C
People writing songs that voices never share
               C
and no one dare
            G        Am
disturb the sound of silence.

G
fools said I, you do not know
                      Am
Silence like a cancer grows.
                      F           C
Hear my words that I might teach you,
                     F           C
Take my arms that I might reach you.
       F                           C      
but my words like silent raindrops fell,
    C             G        Am
and echoed in the wells of silence

G
and the people bowed and prayed
                     Am
To the neon god they made.
                          F      C
and the sign flashed out its warning,
                      F      C
In the words that it was forming.
                       F
and the sign said, the words of the prophets
                           C
are written on the subway walls
                  C
and tenement halls
    C                G         Am
and whisper d in the sounds of silence.
