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

And [C] the vision that was planted in my [G]
brain, Still [Em] remains [G]
within [D] the sound of [B] silence.
[E] In restless [F#m] dreams I walked [D] alone, Narrow streets of [Em] cobblestone.
[Bm] Midst the halo [C] of a [G] street lamp, I turned my color [Am] to the [G] cold and damp.
