Verse 1
Em 
C 
Em 
D 
Hello darkness my old friend,
Em 
I've come to talk with you again.
C 
G 
And a vision softly creeping,
C 
left its seeds while I was sleeping.
G 
C 
G 
And the vision that it planted in my brain
Em 
Still remains within the
D 
Bm 
Em 
sounds of silence
D 
And in dreams I walked alone
A 
D 
Em 
Along the streets of cobblestone
G 
C 
G 
In the halo of a  street lamp,
C 
G 
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
C 
When my eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon light
G 
Em 
Split the night,
D 
Bm 
Em 
and crushed the sounds of silence
And in the naked light
D 
Em 
I saw 10 ,000 people, maybe more
C 
People talking without speaking
G 
C 
People hearing without listening
G 
C 
People writing songs
G 
that voices never shared
Em 
No one dared
D 
Bm 
Em 
Disturbed the sounds of silence
D 
And the people bowed and prayed
Em 
To a neon god they made
C 
G 
And the sign flashed out its  warning
C 
G 
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said
C 
the words of the prophets are written
G 
And on the subway walls,
Em 
tenement halls
D 
And echoed in the sound
Bm 
s of silence
