[D#m]
Hello darkness my [C#] old friend, I've come to talk with you [D#m] again.
[F#] Because a vision [B] softly [F#]
creeping, left its seeds [B] while I [F#] was 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 [C#] I walked alone, narrow streets [A#m] of [D#m] cobblestone.
Neath the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar to [B] the cold [F#] and damp.
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [F#] neon light,
that split the night [D#m] [F#] and [C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence.
And in the naked light [C#] I saw, ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more.
[F#] People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening.
People writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share.
[D#m] No one dared [F#] disturb [C#] the sound [D#] of silence.
[D#m]
Fools that I [C#] do not know, silence like a [D#] cancer grow.
Hear [F#] my words that I might teach you, take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you.
[B] But my words like silent [F#] raindrops fell, [D#m]
[F#] and [C#] echoed in the walls [D#] of silence.
And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, to the neon [D#m] god they made.
[F#] And the sign [B] flashed its [F#] warning, in the words [B] that it 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.
[F#] The news
[C#] [A#m] [D#] of silence.
[A#m] [N]
