[Bm] Mmm
Hello darkness, [A]
my old friend
I've come to talk with [Bm] you again
Because a vision [G] softly [D] creeping
Left its seeds while I [G] was [D] sleeping
[G] And the vision that was planted in my [D] brain Still remains
[Bm] within [A]
the sound [Bm] of silence
In restless dreams I [A] walked alone Narrow streets [Bm] of cobblestone
Neath the halo [G] of a street [D] lamp I turned my collar to [G] the cold [D] and damp
When [G] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a [D] neon light
That split the night [Bm] and touched [A] the sound [Bm] of silence
And in the naked [A] light I saw Ten thousand people, many [Bm] more
People talking [G] without [D] speaking People hearing [G] without [D] listening
People writing [G] songs That voices never [D]
share
And no one dared [Bm] disturb [A] the sound of [Bm] silence
Fool said, I, you [A] do not know Silence like a [Bm] cancer grows
[A] Hear my words that I [G] might [D] teach you Take my arms that [G] I might reach [D]
[A] you
But my [G]
words, like silent raindrops, [D] fell And echoed in [Bm] the
[G] [A] wells [Bm] of silence
And the people [A]
bowed and prayed To the neon [Bm] god they made
And the sign [G] flashed its warning [D]
In the words that it was forming
And the [Bm] sign said [G] the words of the prophets Are written on the subway
[D] walls
And tenement halls [Bm] And [A] whispered in the sound [Bm] of silence
