**Chords:**
Am G F C
Am G F C
Am G Hello darkness, my old friend,
F C
I’ve come to talk with you again.
Am G
Because a vision softly creeping,
F C
Left its seeds while I was sleeping.
Am G
And the vision that was planted in my brain
F C
Still remains
Am G F C
Within the sound of silence.
Am G In restless dreams I walked alone,
F C
Narrow streets of cobblestone.
Am G
’Neath the halo of a street lamp,
F C
I turned my collar to the cold and damp.
Am G
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
F C
That split the night
Am G F C
And the sound of silence.
