[G] Hello darkness [C] my old friend, I've come to talk with you [Dm] again
[F] Because a vision [Bb] softly [F] creeping, left its seeds [Bb] while I was [F] sleeping
[Bb] And the vision that was planted in [F] my brain, still remains [D] [F] within [C] the sound [Dm] of silence
And the streets are [C] all blue, narrow streets [Dm] of cobblestone
[F] Deeper and lower [Bb] than a [F] street lamp, I turned my collar [Bb] to the cold and [F] damp
When [Bb] my eyes were stabbed [Gm] by the flash of a [F] neon light
That split the night [Dm] [F] [C] and touched the sound [Dm] of silence
And in the naked [C] light I saw, ten thousand people [Dm] waiting for
[F] People talking [Bb] without [F] speaking, people hearing [Bb] without [F] listening
People writing [Bb] songs that voices [F] never share
And no one [Dm] there [F] [C] disturbed the sound [Dm] of silence
Fools that [C] I do not know, silence like a [Dm] cancer grows
[F] Hear my words that [Bb] I might [F] teach you, take my arms that I [Bbm] might [F] reach you
But [Bb] my words like silent [F] raindrops fell
[Dm] [F] [C]
[Dm]
And the people [C] bowed and prayed, to the neon god [Dm] they made
And [F] the sign [Bb] flashed [F] its warning, in the words that [Bb] it was [F] forming
And the sign [Bb] said the words of the prophets are written on the [F] subway walls
And gentlemen [Dm] [F] coughed and whispered
[C] [G]
[D] [Am]
