[D#] [G#] Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, I've come to talk with you [D#m] again.
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds [B] while I was [F#] sleeping.
[B] And the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still
[A#m] [D#m] remains [F#] within [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence.
In restless dreams I [C#] walked alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
With a halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collars into [B] cold and [F#] damp.
[B] When my eyes were strapped by the flash of a neon [F#] light,
The smith denied [D#m] and [F#] [C#] touched the sound, [D#m] silent.
And in the [G#m] naked [C#] light I saw, ten thousand people maybe [D#] more.
[D#m]
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening.
People writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share.
No one dared, [D#m] [F#] [C#] discern the sound [D#m] of silence.
Fools that I do [C#] not know, silence like a [D#] cancer grows.
[D#m]
Hear my words [B] that I might teach [F#] you, take my arms [B] that I might reach [F#] you.
But [B] my words, like silent [F#] raindrops fell,
[D#m] [F#] in echoes [C#] of [D#m] silence.
And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, to the neon [D#m] god they made.
And the sign [B] flashed at its [F#] warning, in the words that it [B] was [F#] forming.
And the [D#m] sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on the [F#] subway walls.
And the tenement [D#m] halls [F#]
[C#] whispered in the sound of [D#]
silence.
[A#m] [D#m]
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds [B] while I was [F#] sleeping.
[B] And the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still
[A#m] [D#m] remains [F#] within [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence.
In restless dreams I [C#] walked alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
With a halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collars into [B] cold and [F#] damp.
[B] When my eyes were strapped by the flash of a neon [F#] light,
The smith denied [D#m] and [F#] [C#] touched the sound, [D#m] silent.
And in the [G#m] naked [C#] light I saw, ten thousand people maybe [D#] more.
[D#m]
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening.
People writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share.
No one dared, [D#m] [F#] [C#] discern the sound [D#m] of silence.
Fools that I do [C#] not know, silence like a [D#] cancer grows.
[D#m]
Hear my words [B] that I might teach [F#] you, take my arms [B] that I might reach [F#] you.
But [B] my words, like silent [F#] raindrops fell,
[D#m] [F#] in echoes [C#] of [D#m] silence.
And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, to the neon [D#m] god they made.
And the sign [B] flashed at its [F#] warning, in the words that it [B] was [F#] forming.
