[ Предположительная тональность: C ] Каподастр на 1 ладу Fm B Hello darkness, my old friend, Fm I've come to talk with you again, C G Because a vision softly creeping, C G Left it's seeds while I was sleeping, C G And the vision that was planted in my brain Fm Still remains B Fm Within the sound of silence. B In restless dreams I walked alone Fm Narrow streets of cobblestone, C G 'neath the halo of a street lamp, C G I turned my collar to the cold and damp C G When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light Fm That split the night B Fm And touched the sound of silence. B And in the naked light I saw Fm Ten thousand people, maybe more. C G People talking without speaking, C G People hearing without listening, C G People writing songs that voices never share Fm And no one dare B Fm Disturb the sound of silence. B Fools said i, you Do not know Fm Silence like a cancer grows. C G Hear my words that I might teach you, C G Take my arms that I might reach you. C G But my words like silent raindrops fell, And echoed B Fm In the wells of silence B And the people bowed and prayed Fm To the neon God they made. C G And the sign flashed out it's warning, C G In the words that it was forming. C And the sign said, the words of the prophets Fm G Are written on the subway walls G And tenement halls. B Fm And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
