 Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again
                       C      G                           C       G
 Because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was sleeping
          C                              G                              Em*
 And the vision that was planted in my brain                         ------------
      Em                   D       Em*                               --0-0-0-0---
 Still remains within the sound of silence                           ---2-0------
                                                                     -2-----4-2--
                             D                            Em         ------------
 In restless dreams I walked alone narrow streets of cobblestone     ------------
                     C        G                              C        G
 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp
         C                                         G
 When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
          Em     G                      D      Em*
 That split the night and touched the sound of silence
 
                           D                           Em
 And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more
                    C        G                       C         G
 People talking without speaking; people hearing without listening
                 C                        G
 People writing songs that voices never share
             Em  D/F# G D/F# Em              D        Em*
 And no one dared               disturb the sound of silence
 
                         D                             Em
 Fools said I, you do not know, silence like a cancer grows
                       C           G                        C           G
 Hear my words that I might teach you; take my arms that I might reach you
         C                           G       Em
 But my words like silent raindrops fell 
D/F# G              D       Em*
 And echoed in the wells of silence
 
Em  D        G                 D                          Em
    And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
                          C        G                          C      G
 And the sign flashed out it's warning and the words that it was forming
                        C                                               G
 And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
            Em   D/F# G
 And tenement halls 
 D/F# Em               D                Em*  Em*  Em*  D Em
 And whispered in the sound of silence

Hey P Trik, I've looked over the whole conversation that we had and realized that I really sounded like quite the asshole. Thank you for making that tab that you did. And honestly, I learned some new stuff from reading the comments you made. all of this to say, I have changed my rating to 5 and am quite sorry for coming across as such an idiot. I really do love this community as much as the next guy and am greatful that there are far more educated minds on it than mine. I simply read it wrong and was way too quick to make "corrections" Have a great rest of your day, and sorry Dave. :)
