Hello darkness my [G] old friend, I've come to talk with you [E] again.
[C] Because a vision softly [Fm] [C] creeping, left its seeds while I [F] was [C] sleeping.
And [F] the vision that was planted in [G] my [C] brain, still [Am] remains
[C] within [G] the sound [F#] of silence.
In restless dreams I [G] walked alone, narrow streets of [Am] cobblestone.
[C] Neatly halo of [F] a street [C] lamp, I turned my collar to [F] the cold [C] and damp.
When my eyes [F] were stabbed by the flesh of a neon.
[C] Let's lit the night [Am]
[C] and touch [G] the sound [Am] of silence.
And in the naked [G] light I saw, ten thousand people, maybe [Am] more.
[C] People talking [F] without [C] speaking, people hearing [F] without [C] listening.
People [F] writing songs, voices [C] never share.
No one dare, [Am]
[C] to [G] sniff the sound [Am] of silence.
Is it I you [G] do not know?
Silence like a [Am] cancer grows.
[C] Hear my words that [F] I might [C] teach you, take my arms [F] that I might [C] reach you.
But [F] my words like silence, [C]
[Am] [C] turn the cold [G] in the world [Am] of silence.
And the people [G] bowed and prayed, to the neon [Am] proclamate.
[C] And the sign [F] fleshed out [C] its warning, in the words [F] that it [C] was for me.
And the sign [F] said the words of the prophets are,
[C] Untenable, [Am]
[C] in this world, in [G] the sound of silence.
[C] Because a vision softly [Fm] [C] creeping, left its seeds while I [F] was [C] sleeping.
And [F] the vision that was planted in [G] my [C] brain, still [Am] remains
[C] within [G] the sound [F#] of silence.
In restless dreams I [G] walked alone, narrow streets of [Am] cobblestone.
[C] Neatly halo of [F] a street [C] lamp, I turned my collar to [F] the cold [C] and damp.
