 Dm (you know the riff)

 Dm                    C                                 Dm
Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again
         F          Bb     F                              Bb    F
Because a vision softly creeping, left it's seeds while I was sleeping
        Bb                            F               Dm
And the vision that was planted in my brain,   still remains
 F             C         Dm
     Within the Sound of Silence

                              C                           Dm
In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone
           F       Bb      F                               Bb       F
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp
         Bb                                       F
When my eyes where stabbed by the flash of a neon light
               Dm      F                C         Dm
That split the night,    and touched the sound of silence

                        C                               Dm
And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe more
      F           Bb      F                        Bb      F
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening
               Bb                     F                   Dm
People writing songs that voices never shared, and no one dared
            C        Dm
Disturb the sound of silence

                            C                           Dm
"Fools" said I, "You do not know.  Silence like a cancer grows.
        F            Bb          F                        Bb          F
Hear my words that I might teach you. Take my arms that I might reach you."
       Bb                          F     Dm
But my words like silent raindrops fell
    F             C        Dm
And echoed in the wells of silence.

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