Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, I've come to talk [D#m] with you again.
Because a vision softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping.
[B] And the vision that was planted in [F#] my brain, still [D#m] remains within [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence.
[F] In restless dreams I [C#] walked alone, narrow streets [D#m] of cobblestone.
Deep beneath the waves [F#] streamed loud, I turned my collar to the cold and pale.
When [B] my eyes were stripped by the flash of a [F#] neon light,
the smith and I [C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence.
[D#] And in the naked [C#] light I saw, ten thousand people [D#] maybe more.
[D#m]
People talking without [F#] speaking, people hearing without listening.
People writing [B]
songs that voices [F#] never shared.
No one [D#] did [C#] disturb the sound of [D#m] silence.
Fools that I do [A#m] not know, silence [D#] like a cancer grow.
[D#m] Hear my word that I might [F#] teach you, take my arms that I might reach you.
But [B] my words like silent raindrops fell,
[D#] [F#] and [C#] echoed the will of [D#m] silence.
[D#] And the people bowed [C#] and prayed, even beyond God they made.
[D#m]
And the sign flashed out its [F#] warning, in the word that it was forming.
And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on [F#] the subway walls.
Gentlemen of the spring, [C#] the sound of [D#m] silence.
[D#m] [N]
