[Em] Hello darkness [D] my old friend, I've come to talk [Em] with you again
Because a vision [C] softly creeping, [G] left its seeds [C] while I was [G] sleeping
[C] And the vision that was planted in [G] my brain
Still [Em] remains [D] within the sound [B] of silence
In restless dreams [D] I walked alone, narrow streets [Em] of cobblestone
Meet the [C] halo of a [G] street lamp, I turned my color [C] to the [G] cold and damp
[C] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [G] neon light
That split the [Em] night [G] and [D] touched the sound [Em] of silence
And in the naked [D] light I saw, ten thousand people [Em] maybe more
People talking [C] without [G] speaking, people hearing [C]
without [G] listening
People writing [C]
songs that voices never [G]
share
That no one [Em] dared [G]
[D] disturb the sound [Em] of silence
Fools that I [D] do not know, silence like a [Em] cancer grows
Hear my words [C] that I might [G] teach you, take my heart that [C] I might [G] preach you
[C] But my words like silent brain [G] drafts fell,
[Em] [G] [D] echoed in the wells [Em] of silence
And the people [D] bowed and prayed, to the neon [Em] god they made
And the sign [C] flashed out its [G] warning, in the words [C] that it was [G] for me
And the sign [C] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [G] walls
And tenement [Em] halls, [G] and whispered [D] in the sounds [Em] of silence
[B] [Em]
Because a vision [C] softly creeping, [G] left its seeds [C] while I was [G] sleeping
[C] And the vision that was planted in [G] my brain

Meet the [C] halo of a [G] street lamp, I turned my color [C] to the [G] cold and damp
