🎸 Verse 1:
Am                     G                                   Am
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
                     F      C                            F       C
Because a vision softly creepin' left it's seeds while I was sleepin'
        F                             C              Am
And the vision that was planted in my brain, still remains
  C        G         Am
Within the sounds of silence

🎸 Verse 2:
                             G                             Am
In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone
                   F          C                               F        C
'Neath the halo of a-a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        F                                        C                     Am
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light, that split the night
    C           G        Am
And touched the sound of silence

🎸 Verse 3:
                         G                               Am
And in the naked light I saw; ten thousand people, maybe more
                   F       C                        F        C
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening
               F                       C             Am
People writing songs that voices never share, no one dares
   C        G         Am
Disturb the sounds of silence

🎸 Verse 4:
                    G                           Am
Fools said I do not know; silence like a cancer grows
                     F           C                       F           C
Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms and I might reach you
       F                           C      Am
But my words like silent raindrops fell
    C              G        Am
And echoed, in the wells of silence

🎸 Verse 5:
                         G                             Am
And the people bowed and prayed, to that neon God they made
                         F      C                          F      C
And the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming.
                       F                                                 C                  Am
And the sign said; the words of the prophets, are written on that subway walls and tenement halls
    C                G              Am
And whisper'd in the sounds   of silence
