Throughout the intro you pluck like so: e|-[Dm] --1---1---1---1-|
B|-----3-------3---|
G|-2-------2-------|

The only plucking part of the song is the intro, the rest is strumming, you'll have
to listen to the song to find the rhythm. Good luck.

Intro: (Start plucking on the 'G' string, and say "Hello" on the third time you pluck
the 'B' string. The rest of the chords are above the corresponding syllables, just keep
the plucking rhythm while you transition.)

[Dm] Hello darkness my old [C]friend
I've come to talk with you [Dm]again
Because a [F]vision soft[Bb]ly creep[F]ing
Left his seeds while I [Bb]was sleep[F]ing
And the [Bb]vision that was planted in my [F]brain
Still remain [Dm] [F] within the [C]sound of [D]silence.

[VERSE 1]
In restless dreams I walked a[C]lone
Narrow streets of cobbled [Dm]stone
'Neath the [F]halo of [Bb]a street [F]lamp
I turned my collar to the [Bb]cold and [F]damp
When my [Bb]eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F]light
That split the night [Dm] [F] and touched the [C]sound of [Dm]silence.

[VERSE 2]
And in the naked light I [C]saw
Ten thousand people maybe [Dm]more
People [F]talking with[Bb]out speak[F]ing
People hearing with[Bb]out listen[F]ing
People writing [Bb]songs that voices never [F]share
And no one dare [Dm] [F] disturb the [C]sound of [Dm]silence

[VERSE 3]
Fools said I you do not [C]know
Silence like a cancer [Dm]grow
Hear my [F]words that I [Bb]might teach [F]you
Take my arm that I [Bb]might reach [F]you
But my [Bb]words like silent raindrops [F]fell
[Dm] And [F]echoed in the [C]well of [Dm]silence

[VERSE 4]
And the people bowed and [C]prayed
To the neon god they [Dm]made
And the [F]sign flashed out [Bb]its warn[F]ing
In the words that it [Bb]was form[F]ing

And the sign said
The [Bb]words of the prophets are written on the subway [F]walls
And tenement halls [Dm] and [F]whispered in the [C]sound of [Dm]silence

Enjoy,
Todd
