LYRIC

Simon & Garfunkel

Key: C


-3 -3 4 4 6 6 -5

-7 -7 8 8 10 10 -9

Hel-lo dark-ness, my old friend


3 3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4

7 7 7 -8 -8 -9 -9 8

I’ve come to talk with you a-gain


4 4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7

8 8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11

Be-cause a vis-ion soft-ly creep-ing


4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7

8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11

Left its seeds while I was sleep-ing


4 4 -7 -7 -7 -8 8 8 -8 -7 7

8 8 -11 -11 -11 -12 12 12-12 -11 11

And the vis-ion that was plant-ed in my brain


-7 7 6

-11 11 10

Still re-mains


4 4 4 7 -4 4 -3

8 8 8 11 -8 8 -7

With-in the sound of sil-ence


-3 -3 -3 4 4 6 6 -5

-7 -7 -7 8 8 10 10 -9

In rest-less dreams I walked a-lone


3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4

7 7 -8 -8 -9 -9 8

Nar-row streets of cob-ble-stone


4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7

8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11

‘Neath the ha-lo of a street lamp


4 4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 -7 7

8 8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 -11 11

I turned my col-lar to the cold and damp


4 4 -7 -7 -7

8 8 -11 -11 -11

When my eyes were stabbed


-7 -8 8 8 8 -8 -7 7

-11-12 12 1212 -12-11 11

by the flash of a ne-on light


7 -7 7 6

11 -11 11 10

That split the night


4 4 4 7 -4 4 -3

8 8 8 11 -8 8 -7

And touched the sound of sil-ence


-3 -3 -3 4 4 6 6 -5

-7 -7 -7 8 8 10 10 -9

And in the nak-ed light I saw


3 3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4

7 7 7 -8 -8 -9 -9 8

Ten thous-and peo-ple, may-be more


4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7

8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11

Peo-ple talk-ing with-out speak-ing


4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 -7 7

8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 -11 11

Peo-ple hear-ing with-out lis-ten-ing


4 4 -7 -7 -7 -8

8 8 -11 -11 -11 -12

Peo-ple writ-ing songs that


8 8 -8 -7 7

12 12 -12-11 11

Voic-es nev-er share


7 -7 7 6

11 -11 11 10

And no one dared


4 4 4 7 -4 4 -3

8 8 8 11 -8 8 -7

Dis-turb the sound of sil-ence


-3 -3 4 4 6 6 -5

-7 -7 8 8 10 10 -9

“Fools”, said I, “You do not know


3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4

7 7 -8 -8 -9 -9 8

Sil-ence like a can-cer grows


4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7

8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11

Hear my words that I might teach you


4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7

8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11

Take my arms that I might reach you”


4 4 -7 -8 8 8 -8 -7 7

8 8 -11 -12 12 12 -12 -11 11

But my words, like sil-ent rain-drops fell


-4 4 4 4 4 7 -5 6 -3

-8 8 8 8 8 11 -9 10 -7

And ech-oed in the wells of sil-ence


-3 -3 4 4 6 6 -5

-7 -7 8 8 10 10 -9

And the peo-ple bowed and prayed


3 3 -4 -4 -5 -5 4

7 7 -8 -8 -9 -9 8

To the ne-on god they made


4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7

8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11

And the sign flashed out its warn-ing


4 4 6 6 7 7 -7 7

8 8 10 10 11 11 -11 11

In the words that it was form-ing


4 4 6 7

8 8 10 11

And the sign said,


7 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7

11 -11 -11 -11 -11 -11

“The words of the proph-ets


-8 8 8 8 8 -8 -7 7

-12 12 12 12 12 -12 -11 11

are writ-ten on the sub-way walls


7 -7 -7 7 6

11 -11-11 11 10

And ten-e-ment halls”


-4 4 4 4 4 7 -4 4 -3

-8 8 8 8 8 11 -8 8 -7

And whis-pered in the sounds of sil-ence
