[Em] Hello [E] darkness my old friend I've come to talk with [Em] you again
Because a vision softly [G] creeping Levitates [C] while I was [G] sleeping
[C] And the vision that was planted in my [G] brain [Em] Still remains [G]
within [D] the sound [B] of silence
[Em] In restless dreams [D] I walk alone Narrow street of [Em] cobblestone
Need the [C] halo of a street [G] lamp I turn my collar to the cold and then
[C] When my eyes were stabbed by the flesh of an eerie [G] light [Em] That split the night [G] and touched [D] the sound [Em] of silence
And in the naked [D] light I saw Ten thousand people maybe [Em] more
People talking without [G]
speaking People hearing [C] without [G] listening
People writing [C] songs Their voices never [G]
shared
And no [Em] one there [G] [D] Disturbed the sound [Em] of silence
Who said I [A] don't know Silence like a [Bm] cancer grows
Hear my words [G] that I [D] might teach you Take my arms that [G] I might [D] reach you
[G] But my words like silent ropes [D] fell [Bm] And I [D]
call [A] in the realms [F#] of silence
And the people [A] blown away To the knee and [Bm] ground they made
And the star [G]-flesh of the East [D] went out And the world that it was
And the stars stole [G] the way Of the prophets who [D]
[Bm] [D] ruled [A] the sound of [B] silence
[Bm] [C#] [N]
Because a vision softly [G] creeping Levitates [C] while I was [G] sleeping
[C] And the vision that was planted in my [G] brain [Em] Still remains [G]

Need the [C] halo of a street [G] lamp I turn my collar to the cold and then

call [A] in the realms [F#] of silence
And the people [A] blown away To the knee and [Bm] ground they made
