Sound of silence

Bm 
Hello darkness, my old  
A 
friend,
 
I’ve come to talk with you  
Bm 
again,
 
Because a vision soft
G 
ly 
 
creep
D 
ing,
 
Left its seeds while I  
G 
was 
 
slee
D 
ping,
 
And the  
G 
vision that was planted in my  
D 
brain
 
Still remain
D/C# 
s
Bm 
D 
Within the s
A 
ound of s
Bm 
ilence.
 
In restless dreams I wal
A 
ked 
 
alone
 
Narrow streets of cobble
Bm 
stone,
 
‘neath the halo of  
G 
a street  
D 
lamp,
 
I turned my collar to the  
G 
cold and  
D 
damp
 
When my  
G 
eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon  
D 
light
 
That split the night
D/C# 
Bm 
 
A
D 
nd touched the  
A 
sound of  
Bm 
silence.
 
And in the naked light I  
A 
saw
 
Ten thousand people, maybe  
Bm 
more.
 
People talking with
G 
out 
 
spea
D 
king,
 
People hearing with
G 
out 
 
liste
D 
ning,
 
People writing  
G 
songs that voices never  
D 
share
 
And no one dar

D 
Disturb the  
A 
sound of  
Bm 
silence.
 
Fools said I, you do not  
A 
know
 
Silence like a cancer  
Bm 
grows.
 
Hear my words that I  
G 
might teach  
D 
you,
 
Take my arms that I  
G 
might reach  
D 
you.
 
But my  
G 
words like silent raindrops  
D 
fell
D/C# 
,
Bm 
 
And
D 
echoed
 
In the  
A 
wells of  
Bm 
silence
 
And the people bowed and  
A 
prayed
 
To the neon God they  
Bm 
made.
 
And the sign flashed out  
G 
its 
 
war
D 
ning,
 
In the words that it w
G 
as 
 
for
D 
ming.
 
And the sign said, the  
G 
words of the prophets
 
Are written on the subway w
D 
alls
 
And tenement  
D 
halls.
D/C# 
Bm 
 
And whisp
D 
er’d in the  
A 
sounds of  
Bm 
silence.
