[D#] [G#]
Hello [C#] darkness my old friend, I've come to talk [D#m] with you again.
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping.
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still [A#m] remains [D#m] [F#] [C#] within the sound [D#m] of silence.
In restless dreams [C#] I walked alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
Beneath the hill [B] of a street [F#] lamp, I turned my collar [B] to the cold [F#] and damp.
[B] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light,
I split the [D#m] night, [F#] [C#] touched the sound.
[D#m]
And in the naked [C#] light I saw, ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more.
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening,
people writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share.
No one there, [D#m] [F#] [C#] still the sound [D#m] of silence.
Who said I [C#] do not know, silence like a [D#] cancer grows.
[D#m]
Hear my words [B] that I might [F#] beat you, take my arms [B] that I might meet [F#] you.
But [B] my words, like silent [F#] raindrops fell.
[D#m] [F#] [C#] Echo [D#m] of silence, [D#] and the people [C#] bowed and prayed,
even the [D#m] ungodly made.
And the silence that [B] had its [F#] warning, in the words [B] that it was [F#] forming.
And the silence [G#m] said the [B] words of the prophets are written on the [F#] subway walls.
And the gentlemen called, [D#m] [F#] whispering the [C#] sound [D#] of silence.
[A#m] [D#m] [F]
