[D#] [F#m]
In the wilderness my [B] old friend
[F#] I've come to talk with [F#m] you again
Because a vision [D] softly [A] creeping
Left its scenes when I [D] was [A] sleeping
A [D] vision that was planted in [A] my brain
[F#m] Still remains [A] within [E] the sound [F#m] of silence
In restless dreams I walked [E] alone
In narrow streets [B] of [F#m] cobblestone
Neath the halo [D] of a [A] street lamp
I turned my collar [D] to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flesh of a neon [A] light
That [F#m] split the night and touched [E] the sound [F#] of silence
[F#m] And in the naked [E] light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe [F#m] more
People talking without [A] speaking
People hearing [D] without [A] listening
People writing [D]
songs
And voices never shared
And no [F#m] one dared [E] disturb the sound [F#] of [F#m] silence
Fools, in I do [E] not know
Silence like a [F#m] cancer grows
Hear my words that [D] I might [A] teach you
Take my dreams [D] like silent raindrops fell
[F#m]
[A] In the cold and [E] the west [F#m] of silence
[E] And [F#m] the people bow in praise
To the neon god they met
And the sign flashed out [D] in [A] his foreman
Heard the words that it was for me
And the sign said [D] the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway [A] walls
And [F#m] tenement [A] halls
[F#m] He was one in [E] the sound of [F#] silence
[F#m] [F#] [F#m]
[E] [F#]
