Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again

D|------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------0--0------4---4---2------------------------------2---0--0--|
E|--2-2---------------------------4----4----4---4----4--------------|

Because a vision softly-y creeping, Left it's seeds while I wa-as sleeping
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------2---2--4--4---2--------------------------2--2-4--4---2-----|
A|--0--0---0-4--4-----------------------0----0----4-----4----------------------|

And the vision that was planted in my brain

B|---------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------1---2---2---1-----------|
D|---------4--4---4-------------------4---2----|
A|--0--0---------------------------------------|

still remains within the sound of silence

E|--------------------------------4-------2---|

In restless dreams I walked a-lone, Narrow streets of cobblestone

G|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------0------0--2----0--2-----------------------2------0----|
E|--2--2---2---------------------------4--4---4--------4---4--------|

'Neath the halo of a-aa street lamp, I turned my collar to the co-old and damp

D|------------------2-2--4--4------2--------2------0----------------4---2------2-----|
A|--0-----0--4---4-----------------------0------------4--2---0---0---------4---------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

When my eyes were stabbed, by the flash of a neon light
e|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------1---1—-2-----2--2-1-----------|
D|----------4----4----4---------------------------4--2------|
A|--0--0----------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------|

That split the night, and touched the sound of silence

B|----------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------4----2----------------------------2----------------|
A|-0--------------4------0---0--------0-----------0---------|
E|----------------------------------------------4-----2-----|

And in the naked light I saw, Ten thousand people, maybe more

G|------------2--2---4----2--4---1----1---1---1--1--------1---2---|
D|-4---4--4-------------------------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------|

People talking withou-out speaking, People hearing without-out listening

B|--------2---2-------------------------------2---2--------------------------|
G|-2--2--------------------------------2---2---------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

People writing songs, that voices never share,

B|--------2----------------------------------------|
G|--2--2-------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------|

And no one dare, Disturb the sound of silence

B|------------2-----------------------------------|
G|--2---------------2--2----2---------1--2--------|

"Fools" said I, "you do not know, Silence like a cancer grows

B|---------2-----2--------------------------------------------2----------------------|

E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

But my words li-ike silent raindrops fell, And echoed in the wells of silence
e|--------2-----2--4---5--5---4---2-----0-----------------------0-----------------|

G|-2---2--------------------------------------2----2--2--2---2--------1--2--------|

And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon God they made

And the sign flashed ou-out it's warning, and the words that it wa-as forming
