-4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6
Hello darkness my old friend
4 4 4 5 5 6 6 -5
I've come to talk with you again
-5 -5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7
Because a vision softly creeping
-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
-5 -5 -8 -8 -8 8 -9 -9 8 -8 7
And the vision that was planted in my brain
-8 7 -6
Still remains
-5 -5 -5 7 5 -5 -4
Within the sound of silence
-4 -4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6
In restless dreams I walked alone
4 4 5 5 6 6 -5
Narrow streets of cobblestone
-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
-5 -5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 -8 7
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
-5 -5 -8 -8 -8 -8 8 -9 -9 -9 8 -8 7
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
7 -8 7 -6
That split the night
-5 -5 -5 7 5 -5 -4
And touched the sound of silence
-4 -4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6
And in the naked light I saw
4 4 4 5 5 6 6 -5
Ten thousand people maybe more
-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7
People talking without speaking
-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 -8 7
People hearing without listening
-5 -5 -8 -8 -8 8 -9 -9 8 -8 7
People writing songs that voices never share
7 -8 7 -6
And no one dare
-5 -5 -5 7 5 -5 -4
Disturb the sound of silence
-4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6
"Fools" said I "You do not know
4 4 5 5 6 6 -5
Silence like a cancer grow
-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7
Hear my words that I might teach you
-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7
Take my arms that I might reach you"
-5 -5 -8 8 -9 -9 8 -8 7
But my words like silent raindrops fell
5 -5 -5
And echoed
-5 -5 7 5 -5 -4
In the wells of silence
-4 -4 -5 -5 -6 -6 6
And the people bowed and prayed
4 4 5 5 6 6 -5
To the neon god they made
-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7
And the sign flashed out its warning
-5 -5 -6 -6 7 7 -8 7
In the words that it was forming
-5 -5 -6 7 7 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8
And the sign said "The words of the prophets
8 -9 -9 -9 -9 8 -8 7
are written on the subway walls
7 -8 -8 7 -6
And tenement halls
5 -5 -5 -5 -5 7 5 -5 -4
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence
