[F]
[A#] Hello darkness my [C#] old friend, I've come to talk with [D#m] you again.
Because a [B] vision 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] [F#]
within [C#] the sound [A#] of silence.
[D#m]
In restless dreams [C#] I walked alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
Near the hill [B] of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar to [B] the [F#] cold and damp.
When [B] my eyes were stirred by the flash of a neon light.
I split the night [D#m] [F#] and [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 [B] hearing without [F#] listening.
People writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] shared.
No one [D#m] there [C#] disturbed the sound [D#m] of silence.
Fools that I do [C#] not know, silence like a [D#] cancer grows.
[D#m] Hear my words [B] that I might [F#] teach you, take my [B] arms that I might [F#] reach you.
[B] But my words, like silent [F#] raindrops fell, [C#] echoed the whims [D#m] of silent noon.
[D#] 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 the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls.
Tenorim [D#m] poles
[F#] whispered [C#] in the sound of [F] silence.
