[G]
[Fm] Hello darkness my [Eb] old friend, I've come to talk with [Ab] you [Fm] again.
[Ab] Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while [Db] I was [Ab] sleeping.
And the [Db] vision that was planted in my [Ab] brain,
soon [Fm] remains [Ab] within [Eb] the sound of [Fm] silence.
In restless dreams I [Eb] walked alone, narrow streets of [Fm] cobblestone.
Neath the halo of a [Ab] street lamp, I turned my [Db] collar to the [Ab] cold and damp.
[Db] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [Ab] neon light,
that split the [Fm] night, [Eb] then touched the sound [Fm] of silence.
And in the [Eb] naked light I saw, ten thousand people, [Fm] maybe more.
[Ab] People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening,
people writing [Db] songs, that voices never [Ab] share, that [Fm] no one dare.
[Ab] [Eb] Disturb the sound, [Fm] the silence.
Fool said I, you do [Eb] not know, silence like a cancer [Fm] grows.
[Ab] Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms [Db] that I [Ab] might reach you.
[Db] But my words, like silent [Ab] raindrops fell,
[Fm] [Ab] and echoed in [Eb] the wells of [Fm] silence.
And the [Eb] people bowed and prayed, to the neon [Fm] god they made.
[Ab] And the sign [Db] flashed out its [Ab] warning, in the words that it [Db] was [Ab] forming.
And the sign said the [Db] words of the prophet are written on the [Ab] subway walls,
and [Fm] ten men paused [Ab] and whispered [Eb] in the sound, [Fm] the silence.
