[D#m]
Hello darkness [C#] my old friend I've come to talk [D#m] with you again
vision softly [F#] creeping Left its seeds while [B] I was [F#]
sleeping
that was planted in [F#] my brain Still [D#] remains [F#] within [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence
In restless dreams I [C#] walked up narrow streets [D#m] of cobblestone
Neath the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp I turned my [B] collar to the cold [F#] and damp
[D#m]
Hello darkness [C#] my old friend I've come to talk [D#m] with you again

that was planted in [F#] my brain Still [D#] remains [F#] within [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence

Hello darkness [C#] my old friend _ I've come to talk [D#m] with you again
_ _ [B] Because a vision softly [F#] creeping _ _ Left its seeds while [B] I was [F#]
sleeping
_ [B] And the vision _ that was planted in [F#] my brain _ Still _ [D#] remains _ [F#] _ within [C#] the sound _ [D#m] of silence _
_ In restless dreams I [C#] walked up _ _ _ narrow streets [D#m] of cobblestone _
_ _ Neath the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp I turned my [B] collar to the cold [F#] and damp
_ [B] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [F#] neon light
That split the night [D#m] _
_ _ and [C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence _
_ And in the naked [C#] light I _ saw ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more _ _
_ [F#] People talking [B] without [F#] speaking _ _ _ People [B] hearing without listening _ _
People writing [B] _ _
songs that voices [F#] never share
[A#m] And no one dared _ [F#] _ [C#] disturb the sound [D#] of _ silence
[D#m] _ Fools that I [C#] do not _ know _ _ Silence like a [D#m] cancer grows
_ [D#]
Hear [F#] my words [B] that I might [F#] teach you Take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you
[B] But my words like silent [F#] raindrops fell And [D#m] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ [C#] echoed in the _ walls [D#] of silence
_ _ And the people [C#] bowed and prayed _ _ To the neon [D#m] god they _ made
And the sign [B] flashed [F#] its warning _ In the words that it [B] was [F#] forming
_ And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets Are written on the subway [F#] walls
And tenement [D#m] halls _

_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ Slow [D#] down, you move [A#m] too fast You got to make the [G] morning last
Just kicking [G#m] down the _ [F#] cobblestones [C#m] Looking for fun and feeling _ groovy _ _
_ Ba da da da da da da Feeling _ [C#] groovy _ _
[C#m] _ _ [F#] _ [C#] Hello lamppost, [F#] what you knowing?
[C#m] I come to watch your flowers [F#] growing
[D#] Ain't you got no rhymes for me?
Do do do, [C#m] feeling [F#] groovy
[C#m] _ _ _
_ Ba da da da da da da Feeling groovy
[F#] _ [C#] _ _ _
I got no [C#m] deeds to do, no promises to keep [F#] I'm [C#m] chaffed and drowsy and ready to sleep
[A#m] Let the morning sun drop [D#] all its petals on [F#] me [C#m] Life, I love you, all is _ _ groovy
Ba da [F#] da da da da da Feeling groovy
