Remove AdsFm G Hello darkness, my old friend,
FmI've come to talk with you again,
C FBecause a vision softly creeping,
C FLeft it's seeds while I was sleeping,
C FAnd the vision that was planted in my brain
FmStill remains
G FmWithin the sound of silence.
GIn restless dreams I walked alone
FmNarrow streets of cobblestone,
C F'neath the halo of a street lamp,
C FI turned my collar to the cold and damp
C FWhen my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
FmThat split the night
G FmAnd touched the sound of silence.
GAnd in the naked light I saw
FmTen thousand people, maybe more.
C FPeople talking without speaking,
C FPeople hearing without listening,
C FPeople writing songs that voices never share
FmAnd no one dare
G FmDisturb the sound of silence.
GFools said i, you Do not know
FmSilence like a cancer grows.
C FHear my words that I might teach you,
C FTake my arms that I might reach you.
C FBut my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
G FmIn the wells of silence
GAnd the people bowed and prayed
FmTo the neon God they made.
C FAnd the sign flashed out it's warning,
C FIn the words that it was forming.
CAnd the sign said, the words of the prophets
Fm FAre written on the subway walls
FAnd tenement halls.
G FmAnd whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
