_ _ _ [A#m] _ [D#m] _ Hello [B] darkness [C#] my old friend I've come to talk [D#m] with you again
_ _ _ Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping _ Left its seeds [B] while I [F#] was sleeping
_ And [B] the vision _ that was _ gladdened [F#] _ _ _ _ Still resides in my heart
_ [D#m] _
_ [F#] _ [C#] Within the sound _ [D#m] of silence In _ restless dreams I [C#] walk alone
_ _ Narrow streets [D#m] of cobblestone _ _ Need the halo [B] of [F#] a street lamp
I turn my collar [B] to the [F#] cold and damp When [B] my eyes are closed I see the light
And the clouds were stacked by the flash of a neon [F#] light
That split the night [D#m] _ _
And touched [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence
_ And in the naked light [C#] I saw _ _ Ten thousand [D#m] people, maybe more
_ _ People talking [B] without [F#] speaking _ People hearing [B] without [F#] listening
_ People writing [B] songs _ _ No _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ one [D#m] there
[F#] _ _ [C#] Disturb the sound [D#m] of silence
_ _ Fools that I, you [C#] do not know _ Silence like a [D#m] cancer grows
_ _ Hear my words that I [B] might [F#] teach you _ Take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach _ you
[B] But my _ words lack sound _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
[F#] And echo the _ [C#] _ sound
[D#m] _ And _ _ the people [C#] bowed in praise _ To the neon that [D#m] they made
_ And the sign passed [B] [F#] its warning _ In the words that it [B] [F#] was for me
_ And the sign said [B] the words of the prophets Are printed on the [F#] subway wall
_ And tenement [D#m] halls [F#] And whisper _ _ [C#] in the sound _ _ _ _ [D#m] of silence _
