Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with [Gm] you again
Because a vision [Eb] softly [Bb] creeping
Left its seeds while [Eb] I was [Bb] sleeping
and [Eb] the vision
That was planted in my [Bb] brain
[Gm] Still remains
[F] within the sound
Of [Gm] silence
[G]
In restless dreams I [F] walked alone
Narrow streets of [Gm] cobblestone
Neath the halo [Eb] of a street [Bb] lamp
Turn my color to the cold and damp
When [Eb] my eyes were stared by the flash of a neon [Bb] light
I split [Gm] the night [A] and [F] touched the sound [Gm] of silence
And in the naked [F] light I saw
Ten thousand people, [Gm] maybe more
People talking [Eb]
without [Bb] speaking
People hearing [Eb] without [Bb] listening
People writing [Eb]
songs that voices never [Bb] shared
No [Gm] one dared
[Am] disturb [F] the sound [Gm] of silence
Fools that I, you [F] do not know
Silence like a [Gm] cancer grows
Hear my words that [Eb] I might teach [Bb] you
Take my arms that [Eb] I might reach [Bb] you
But [Eb] my words like silent raindrops [Bb] fail
[Gm] And echoed [F] in the wells [Gm] of silence
People bowed and [F] prayed
To the neon god [Gm] they made
And the sign [Eb] flashed out its warning
[Bb] In the words that [Eb] it was for [Bb] me
And the sign said [Eb] the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway [Bb] walls
And [Gm] tenement halls
And [G] whispered [F] in the sound
[Gm] Of silence
Because a vision [Eb] softly [Bb] creeping
Left its seeds while [Eb] I was [Bb] sleeping
and [Eb] the vision
That was planted in my [Bb] brain
[Gm] Still remains
[F] within the sound
Of [Gm] silence
[G]
In restless dreams I [F] walked alone
Narrow streets of [Gm] cobblestone
Neath the halo [Eb] of a street [Bb] lamp
Turn my color to the cold and damp
When [Eb] my eyes were stared by the flash of a neon [Bb] light
I split [Gm] the night [A] and [F] touched the sound [Gm] of silence
And in the naked [F] light I saw
Ten thousand people, [Gm] maybe more
People talking [Eb]
without [Bb] speaking
People hearing [Eb] without [Bb] listening
People writing [Eb]
songs that voices never [Bb] shared
No [Gm] one dared
[Am] disturb [F] the sound [Gm] of silence
Fools that I, you [F] do not know
Silence like a [Gm] cancer grows
Hear my words that [Eb] I might teach [Bb] you
Take my arms that [Eb] I might reach [Bb] you
But [Eb] my words like silent raindrops [Bb] fail
[Gm] And echoed [F] in the wells [Gm] of silence
People bowed and [F] prayed
To the neon god [Gm] they made
And the sign [Eb] flashed out its warning
[Bb] In the words that [Eb] it was for [Bb] me
And the sign said [Eb] the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway [Bb] walls
And [Gm] tenement halls
And [G] whispered [F] in the sound
[Gm] Of silence
