Standard

Am                G                                  Am
Hello Darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again
     Am            F        C                              F    C
because a vision softly creeping, Left it's seeds while i was sleeping
         F                             C             Am
And the Vision that was planted in my brain, still remains
   C        G        Am   
within the sound of silence.
       Am                    G                             Am
In Restless dreams I walked alone, Narrow streets of cobblestone
      Am           F         C                              F        C
Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp
      F                                            C
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night
     C           G          Am
and touched the sound of silence

      Am                   G                             Am
And in the naked light i saw, Ten thousand people maybe more
      Am          F      C                        F       C
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening
      C           F                      C            Am
People writing songs that voices never share, No one dared
    C         G       Am
Disturb the sound of silence

   Am                   G                            Am
Fool said I you do not know, Silence like a cancer grows
       Am             F           C                      F            C
Hear my words that i might teach you, take my arms that i might reach you
      F                             C   Am    
But my words like silent raindrops fell
      C                G         Am
And echoed in the the wells of silence

         Am                G                          Am
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.
         Am              F       C                             F     C
and the sign flashed out its in warning, in the words that it was forming
                        F                                               C
and the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls, 
      Am
and tenement halls
      C               G          Am
and whispered in the sounds of silence.
