[D#] [G#] Hello darkness my [C#] old friend, I've come to talk [D#m] with you again
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds [B] while I was [F#] sleeping
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, [D#m] still [A#m] remains [D#m] within [A#m] the cell [D#m] of silence
In restless dreams I walked [C#] alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone
Neath the halo of [B] a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar [B] to the cold [F#] and damp
When [B] my eyes were stamped by the flash of a neon [F#] light
Split the [D#m] night, [F#] [C#] and touched the sound [D#m] of silence
And in the naked [C#] light I saw, ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening
People writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share
No one [D#m] dared [F#] disturb [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence
Old said I, you [C#] do not know, silence like a [D#m] cancer grows
Hear my words [B] that I might [F#] teach you, take my arms that I [B] [F#] might reach you
But [B] my words, like silent [F#] raindrops fell, [B] [F#] [D#m]
[F#] and [C#] echoed the wills [D#m] of silence
And the people [C#] bowed in praise, to the neon [D#m] god they made
And the sign [B] flashed out its [F#] warning, in the words [B] that it [F#] was forming
And the sign said [B] the words of the prophets are written on the [F#] subway wall
And tenement [D#m] halls [F#] [C#] whispered the sounds [G#] of silence
[D#]
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds [B] while I was [F#] sleeping
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, [D#m] still [A#m] remains [D#m] within [A#m] the cell [D#m] of silence
In restless dreams I walked [C#] alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone
Neath the halo of [B] a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar [B] to the cold [F#] and damp
When [B] my eyes were stamped by the flash of a neon [F#] light
Split the [D#m] night, [F#] [C#] and touched the sound [D#m] of silence
And in the naked [C#] light I saw, ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening
People writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] share
No one [D#m] dared [F#] disturb [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence
Old said I, you [C#] do not know, silence like a [D#m] cancer grows
Hear my words [B] that I might [F#] teach you, take my arms that I [B] [F#] might reach you
But [B] my words, like silent [F#] raindrops fell, [B] [F#] [D#m]
[F#] and [C#] echoed the wills [D#m] of silence
And the people [C#] bowed in praise, to the neon [D#m] god they made
And the sign [B] flashed out its [F#] warning, in the words [B] that it [F#] was forming
And the sign said [B] the words of the prophets are written on the [F#] subway wall
And tenement [D#m] halls [F#] [C#] whispered the sounds [G#] of silence
