				C#
In restless dreams I walked alone,
                        Em
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
                   B          F
'neath the halo of a streetlamp,
                          B           F
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        B                                          F
when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light,
                Em 
that split the night
                  C#       Em
and touched the sound of silence.
                           C#
And in the naked light I saw,
                          Em
Ten thousand people maybe more,
                    B      F
People talking without speaking,
                    B      F
People hearing without listening,
                B                           F
People writing songs that voices never share,
        Em
No one dare,
              C#       Em
Disturb the sound of silence.
                       C#
Fools said I you do not know,
                         Em
Silence like a cancer grows,
                        B      F
Hear my words that I might teach you,
                     B      F
Take my arms that I might reach you,
        B                               F
But my words, like silent raindrops fell,
     Em           C#      Em
And echoed the will of silence.
                  B        F
And the people bowed and prayed,
              B         F
To the neon god they made,
                         B             F
And in the sign flashed out it's warning,
                   B            F
In the words that it was forming,
                       B
And the sign said the words of the prophets
                         F   
Are written on the subway walls,
             Em
And tenement halls,
               C#         F
And whisper the sounds of silence.
