[Verse 1]

                       Db
Hello darkness my old friend
Db                            Ebm
 I've come to talk with you again
          Gb             B     Gb          
Because a vision softly-y creeping
Gb                          B      Gb                  
 Left its seeds while I wa-as sleeping
Gb        B                             Gb    
 And the vision that was planted in my brain
        Gb     Ebm       
Still remains
Gb           Db        Ebm      Ebm                  
 Within the sound of silence
                              (break)


[Verse 2]

                              Db          
 In restless dreams I walked alone
Db                        Ebm
 Narrow streets of cobblestone
Ebm          Gb         B        Gb
 'Neath the halo of a-a street lamp
Gb                          B        Gb
 I turned my collar to the cold and damp
Gb        B                                        Gb     
 When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
               Gb      Ebm      
That split the night
Gb                Db        Ebm
 And touched the sound of silence


[Verse 3]

Ebm                        Db
 And in the naked light I saw
Db                           Ebm
 Ten thousand people maybe more
Ebm      Gb           B       Gb
 People talking without speaking
Gb                      B       Gb
 People hearing withou-out listening
Gb               B                       Gb
 People writing songs that voices never share
           Gb    Ebm      
And no one dare
Gb            Db        Ebm
 Disturb the sound of silence


[Verse 4]

Ebm                        Db
 Fools said I you do not know
Db                      Ebm
 Silence like a cancer grows
Ebm       Gb               B          Gb
 Hear my words that I mi-ight teach you
Gb                       B          Gb
 Take my arms that I mi-ight reach you
Gb       B                          |  Gb  | Gb   Ebm    |
 But my words like silent raindrops fell
    Gb
And echoed
       Db        Ebm
In the wells of silence


[Verse 5] + outro

Ebm                        Db
 And the people bowed and prayed
Db                     Ebm
 To the neon God they made.
Ebm       Gb                  B      Gb
 And the sign flashed out i-its warning
Gb                        B     Gb
 In the words that it wa-as forming.
        Gb              B
And the sign said the words of the prophets
    B                     Gb
Are written on the subway walls
             Gb       Ebm      
And tenement halls
    Gb                Db     Db       Ebsus2      Ebm 
And whispered in the sounds ... of silence
                         (break)
