[F#] [F#m]
Hello darkness my [E] old friend, I've come to talk with [F#m] you again.
Because a [D] vision softly [A] creeping, left its seeds while [D] I was [A] sleeping.
And [D] the vision that was planted in [A] my brain, [F#m] still remains [A] within [E] the sound [F#m] of silence.
[G#] In [A] restless dreams I [E] walk alone, in narrow streets of [F#m] cobblestone.
Beneath the halo [D] of a [A] street lamp, I turn my [D] collar to the [A] cold wind.
My [D]
eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [A]
light, [Bm] that [F#] split [F#m] the night.
And [E] touch the sound [F#m] of silence.
[F#] [E] [A] And in [F#m] the naked light [E] I saw, ten thousand people maybe [F#m]
more.
People talking [D] without [A]
speaking, people hearing [D] without [A]
listening.
People writing [D] songs that voices never [A] share.
[F#m] No [A] one dared [F#] [A] [E] disturb the sound [F#m] of silence.
[F#]
Who said I, you [E] do not know, silence like a [F#m] cancer grows.
In my words that [D] I might [A] teach you, take my arms that [D] I might [A] reach you.
[D] But my words like silent [A] raindrops fell.
[F#] [C#m] [A] And it [E] echoed in the wells [F#] of silence,
[E] [A] that the [F#m] people [E] found and prayed.
To the neon [F#m] god they made, and the sign flashed [D] out its [A] warning.
In the words that [D] it bore, [A]
and the sign [D] said the word sent the prophets out.
Risen somewhere, [A]
[F#] in a [C#m] mountain [A] horse.
[F#m] [A]
[E] Sound of [Bm] silence.
