Tabbed by : Aakash Brahmachari Tuning: EADGBE E5 D5 Hello darkness, my old friend, E5 I've come to talk with you again, C5 G5 Because a vision soft creeping, E5 C5 G5 Left it's seeds while I was sleeping, C5 C5 G5 And the vision that was planted in my brain E5 Still remains D5 E5 Within the sound of silence. E5 D5 In restless dreams I walked alone E5 Narrow streets of cobblestone, E5 C5 G5 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, E5 C5 G5 I turned my collar to the cold and damp C5 When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon G5 light E5 That split the night D5 E5 And touched the sound of silence. E5 D5 And in the naked light I saw E5 Ten thousand people, maybe more. E5 C5 G5 People talking without speaking, E5 C5 G5 People hearing without listening, C5 G5 People writing songs that voices never share E5 And no one dare D5 E5 Disturb the sound of silence. E5 D5 Fools said i, you do not know E5 Silence like a cancer grows. E5 C5 G5 Hear my words that I might teach you, E5 C5 G5 Take my arms that I might reach you. C5 G5 But my words like silent raindrops fell, E5 And echoed D5 E5 In the wells of silence E5 D5 And the people bowed and prayed E5 To the neon God they made. E5 C5 G5 And the sign flashed out it's warning, E5 C5 G5 In the words that it was forming. E5 C5 And the sign said, the words of the prophets C5 G5 Are written on the subway walls E5 And tenement halls. D5 E5 And whispered in the sounds of silence.
