This song is actually starts on Ebm and not Em

                        C#
Hello darkness, my old friend,
                           Ebm
I've come to talk with you again,
                  B     F#          
Because a vision soft creeping,
          Ebm             B     F#                  
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
         B                B/F#            F#                          
And the vision that was planted in my brain
       Ebm       
Still remains
             C#       Ebm               
Within the sound of silence.

 Ebm                          C#         
In restless dreams I walked alone
                        Ebm
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
 Ebm                 B        F#
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
              Ebm           B        F#
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
        B                                                                                               
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon

F#
light
               Ebm
That split the night
               C#        Ebm
And touched the sound of silence.

Ebm                         C#
  And in the naked light I saw
                           Ebm
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
Ebm                B       F#
People talking without speaking,
Ebm                    B       F#
People hearing without listening,
                 B                       F#
People writing songs that voices never share
           Ebm
And no one dare
             C#        Ebm
Disturb the sound of silence.


Ebm                         C#
 Fools said i, you do not know
                      Ebm
Silence like a cancer grows.
Ebm                     B          F#
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Ebm                    B           F#
Take my arms that I might reach you.
         B                          F#
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
      Ebm
And echoed
       C#        Ebm
In the wells of silence


Ebm                        C#
 And the people bowed and prayed
                     Ebm
To the neon God they made.
Ebm                         B       F#
 And the sign flashed out it's warning,
Ebm                     B     F#
In the words that it was forming.
         Ebm              B
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
        B                    F#
Are written on the subway walls
               Ebm
And tenement halls.
                     C#         Ebm      
And whispered in the sounds of silence
