Hello darkness [E] my old friend I've [B] come to talk with you [F#m] again
Because a [D] vision softly [A] creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping
[D] And the vision that was planted in my [A] brain [F#m] Still remains
When the [B]
sound [F#m] of silence In restless dreams I walked [B] alone
[E] Narrow streets of [F#m] cobblestone Leave the [D] halo of a history [A] alone
[E] I turned my collar to the cold and damp [D] My eyes were stabbed by the flash of an
empty [A] light They [F#m] split the night and [E] touched the [B] sound
[F#m] Of silence The naked [E] light I saw
Ten thousand people maybe [F#m] more People talking without [A] speaking
People hearing without listening People writing [D] songs
That voices never [A] shared [F#m] And no one dared disturb [E] the sound
[F#] Of silence [F#m] Fools say [E] I do not know
Silence like a [F#m] cancer grows
Hear my words that I [A] might teach you Take my [D] arms and I might [A] reach you
And [D] my words like silvery drops fell [F#] And [E] echoed in the wells [F#m] of silence
And the people [E] prayed To the [F#m] neon gods they made
And the sign flashed out [A] its warning The words that it was forming
And the [D] sign said the words of the prophets Are written on the subway [A] walls
[F#m] And tenement halls And whispered [E] in the sound [F#] of [F#m] silence
