Chords with lyrics
D#mD#m 
C#C#
Hello darkness my old friend
D#mD#m
I ve come to talk to you again
BB 
F#F#
because a vision softly is creeping
D#mD#m BB F#F#
left its seeds while I was sleeping
BB F#F# D#mD#m
and the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
C#C# D#mD#m
within the sound of silence
D#mD#m C#C#
In restless dreams I walked alone
D#mD#m
narrow streets of cobble-stone
BB F#F#
Neath the halo of a street lamp
D#mD#m BB F#F#
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
BB F#F#
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
D#mD#m C#C# D#mD#m
that split the night and touched the sound of silence
D#mD#m C#C#
And in the naked light I saw
D#mD#m
ten thousand people maybe more
BB F#F#
people talking without speaking
D#mD#m BB F#F#
people hearing without listening
BB F#F#
people writing songs that voices never share
D#mD#m C#C# D#mD#m
and no-one dare disturb the sound of silence
D#mD#m C#C#
Fools said I you do not know
D#mD#m
silence like a cancer grows
BB F#F#
hear my words that I might teach you
D#mD#m BB F#F#
take my arms that I might reach you
BB F#F# D#mD#m
But my words like silent raindrops fell
C#C# D#mD#m
and echoed in the wells of silence
D#mD#m C#C#
And the people bowed and prayed
D#mD#m
to the neon god they d made
BB F#F#
And the sign flashed out its warning
D#mD#m BB F#F#
in the words that it was forming
BB
And the sign said the words of the prophets are written
F#F# D#mD#m
in the subway walls and tenement halls
C#C# D#mD#m
and whispered in the sound - of silence
