[F]
[A#] 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 [F#] was sleeping.
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still remains [D#m] [C#] within the sound [F] of silence.
[D#m] In restless dreams [C#] I walked alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
Beneath the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar to [B] a [F#] cold and damp.
[B] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light, it split the night [D#m] and [F#]
[C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence.
And in the [C#] naked light I saw, ten thousand people [D#] maybe more.
[D#m] People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without listening.
People writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share.
No one there, [D#] [F#]
to discern [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence.
Fools that I do not [C#] know, silence [D#] like a cancer grows.
[D#m] Hear my words that I might [F#] teach you, take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you.
[B] But my words, like silent raindrops [F#] fell, [D#m] [F#] and echoed [C#] the will [D#m] of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its [F#] warning, in the words that [B] it [F#] was forming.
And the sign [B] said the words of the prophets are written on [F#] the subway walls.
And tenement [D#m] halls
[F#] [C#] whispered the sounds of [C#] [F] silence.
[D#m]
