[D#m] Hello darkness my [C#] old friend, I've come to talk with [D#m] you again.
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while [B] I was [F#]
sleeping.
[B] And the vision that was planted [E] in [F#] my brain, still [D#m] remains [F#] within [F] the [C#] sound [D#m] of silence.
In restless dreams I [C#] walk alone, narrow streets of [D#m] rubble stones.
With a heel of [B] a hazed leaf [F#] land, I turn my collar to [B] the cold [F#] and damp.
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light,
I'd spit the night [D#m] and [F#] [C#] touch the sound [D#m] of silence.
And in the naked light [C#] I saw, ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more.
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening.
People writing [B]
songs that voices never [F#] share.
No one [D#m] there, [F#] must hear [C#] the sound
[D#m] of silence.
Fools say that you do [C#] not know, silence like [D#m] a cancer grows.
Hear my words that [B] I might [F#] teach you, take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you.
But [B] my words like silent raindrops [F#] fell,
[D#m] [F#] echoes [C#] in the wells [D#m] of silence.
And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, to the neon [D#m] god they made.
And the sign flashed out [B] its [F#] warning, in the words that it [B] was [F#] forming.
And the signs [B] tell the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] wall.
And tenement halls, [D#m] [F#]
must blow out in [C#] the sounds of [D#m] silence.
[A#] [D#]
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while [B] I was [F#]
sleeping.
[B] And the vision that was planted [E] in [F#] my brain, still [D#m] remains [F#] within [F] the [C#] sound [D#m] of silence.
In restless dreams I [C#] walk alone, narrow streets of [D#m] rubble stones.
With a heel of [B] a hazed leaf [F#] land, I turn my collar to [B] the cold [F#] and damp.
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light,
I'd spit the night [D#m] and [F#] [C#] touch the sound [D#m] of silence.
And in the naked light [C#] I saw, ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more.
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening.
People writing [B]
songs that voices never [F#] share.
No one [D#m] there, [F#] must hear [C#] the sound
[D#m] of silence.
Fools say that you do [C#] not know, silence like [D#m] a cancer grows.
Hear my words that [B] I might [F#] teach you, take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you.
