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