[Em]
Hello darkness [D] my old friend
[Em] Because a vision [G] softly creeping
Left its seeds while I [C] was [G] sleeping And the vision [C] that was planted in my [G] brain
Still [Em] remains within [D] the sound [Em] of silence In restless dreams I [D] walk alone
Narrow streets of [Em] cobblestone
Neat the halo of a [G] street lamp I turn my collar to the cold and damp
When [C] my eyes were stammed by the flash of a neon [G] light
Split the [Em] night and touched [D] the sound [Em] of silence
And in the naked light I [D] saw Ten thousand people [Em] maybe more
People [C] talking without [G] speaking People hearing without listening
People writing [C] songs that voices [G] never share And [Em] no one dared [D] disturb the sound [Em] of silence
Fool said I you do [D] not know Silence like [Em] a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might [G] teach you Take my arms that I might reach you
[C] But my words like silent [G] raindrops fell
[Em] [G] And echoed [D] in the wells [Em] of silence And the people [D] bowed and prayed
To the neon [Em] god they made And the sign flashed [C] out its [G] warning
In the words [C] it was [G] forming And the sign said [C] the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway [G] walls [Em] And tenement halls
[G] And whispered in [D] the sound [Em] of silence
[N]
Is that not the creepiest most beautiful thing you've ever heard?
Tim and Phil Hanseroth, the twins!
[Em]
Hello darkness [D] my old friend
[Em] Because a vision [G] softly creeping
