VERS 2:
Am                            G
 In restless dreams I walked alone
                        Am 
Narrow streets of cobblestone
           C       F       C
‘Neath the halo of a streetlamp
                          F        C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        F                                        C
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
               C   C/H  Am  C/H  C  
That split the night               and touched the 
G        Am
sound of silence



VERS 3:
Am                        G
 And in the naked light I saw
                           Am  
Ten thousand people, maybe more
        C          F       C
People talking without speaking
                   F        C
People hearing without listening
               F                        C
People writing songs that voices never share
        C   C/H  Am  C/H  C  
No one dare                 Disturb the 
G        Am
sound of silence



VERS 4:
Am                            G
 “Fools” said I, “You do not know
                      Am 
Silence like a cancer grows
         C           F           C
Hear my words that I might teach you
                     F          C
Take my arms that I might reach you”
       F                           C
But my words like silent raindrops fell
     C   C/H  Am  C/H  C  
                         And echoed in the 
G        Am
wells of silence


VERS 5:
Am                        G
 And the people bowed and prayed
                     Am 
To the neon god they made
         C                F     C
And the sign flashed out its warning
                     F      C
In the words that it was forming
                       F                               
And the sign said “The words of the prophets
                           C
Are written on the subway walls
              C   C/H  Am  C/H  C 
And tenement halls               And whispered in the 
G         Am
sounds of silence”
