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