Hello darkness my old friend, come [Gm] dark with you again
[Eb] Because a vision softly [Bb] creeping, left the seeds while [Eb] I was sleeping
And [Eb] the vision that was planted in my [Bb] brain, still [Gm]
remains [F] within this of [Gm] silence
In restless dreams I [F] walked alone, in narrow streets of [Gm] cobblestone
Beneath the halo [Eb] of a [Bb] street lamp, turned my color [Eb] to the [Bb] golden tan
When [Eb] my eyes were stabbed [Eb] by the flash of an neon [Bb] light, that split [G] the night
[F] Touched the sound [Gm] of silence, and in the naked [F] light I saw, a thousand people [Gm] maybe more
People talking [Eb] without
[Bb] speaking, people hearing [Eb] without [Bb] listening
People writing [Eb]
songs, their voices [D] never [Bb] shared, no [G] one there
[F] Disturbed the sound [Gm] of silence, fools say I do [F] not know
Silence like a [Gm] cancer grows, hear my [G] words that [Eb] I might [Bb] teach you
Take my [Eb] arms that I might [Bb] reach you, [Eb] but my words like silent [Bb] drugs fills
A [Bb] new coach [F] and a wails [Gm] of silence, people bawling [F] and praying
To the neon god [Gm] they lay, and the sun flashed [Eb] out its [Bb] warning
And [Eb] the words that it was for [Bb] me, and the signs had the words of the prophets
Or reading on a subway [Bb]
wall, and telling me halls, and whispered [F] in the sound
[Gm] of silence
[D]
