[Cm] Hello darkness [Bb] my old friend, I've come to talk [Gm] with you [Cm] again.
Because a [Eb] vision [Ab] softly creeping, [Eb]
lifted seas while I [Ab] was sleeping.
[Eb]
And the [Ab] vision that was planted in my [Eb] brain, that still remains [Cm] [Eb] within the [Bb] sound [Cm] of silence.
In restless dreams I [Bb] walked alone, narrow streets of [Cm] calmest foam.
Beneath the [Eb] halo of [Ab] a [Eb] street lamp, I turned my color to the [Ab]
[Eb] cold and damp.
When [Ab] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of an [Eb] eel light,
I split the night,
[Cm] [Eb] I [Bb] touched the sound of [Cm] silence.

[Cm] In the naked light I [Bb] saw, ten thousand people maybe more.
[Cm]
People [Eb] talking without [Ab] [Eb] speaking, people hearing [Ab] without [Eb] listening.
People writing [Fm] songs, that voice is never [Ab] [Eb] shared.
And no one [Cm] there, [Eb] stirred [Bb] the sound [Cm] of silence.
Fool said I, you do not [Bb] know, silence like a [Cm] cancer grow.
Hear [Eb] my words that I [Ab] might [Eb] teach you, take my arms and I [Ab] might [Eb] reach out to you.
But [Ab] my words, like silent raindrops [Eb] fell, [Cm]
[Eb] an echo [Bb] in the winds of [Cm] silence.
And the people bowed and [Bb] prayed, to the neon [Cm] that it made.
And [Eb] the sign flashed [Ab] its [Eb] warning, in the words that it [Ab] was [Eb] forming.
And the sign [Ab] said the words of the [Fm] prophets are written on the subway [Eb] walls.
And the tenement halls [Cm] [Eb] had whispered [Bb] in the silence.
