[F#m]
[C#] [F#m]
Hello darkness [E] my old friend, I've come to talk with [G#] you [F#m]
again
Because a vision [Dm] softly [A] creeping, left its seeds [Dm] while I was [A] sleeping
[D] And the vision that was planted [A] in my brain, [F#m] still remains
[A]
[E] Within the sound [F#m] of silence
In restless dreams I [E] walked alone
Narrow streets of [F#m] cobblestone
Near the halo [D] of a [A] street lamp
I turned my color [D] to the cold [A] and damp
[D] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [A] light
[B]
That [F#m] split the [A] night
And [E] touched the sound [F#m] of silence
[F#] And in the naked [E] light I saw
Ten thousand people, [F#m] maybe more
People talking [D] without [A] speaking
People hearing [D] without [A] listening
People writing [D] songs that mislead
[A] No one to [E] disturb the sound [F#m] of silence
Fools that I do [E] not know
Silence like a [F#m] cancer grows
Hear my words that [D] I might [A] teach you,
[D] [A] preach you
[D] But my words lie [A] obsperate
[F#m] [A] And [E] echoed in the wells [F#m] of silence
And the people [E] clouded and prayed
To the neon [F#m] god
And the sign flashed [D] out its [A] warning
It [D]
was [A] falling
And the sign [D] settled the subway [A] walls
It's an [F#m] immense [A] hall
[F#m] And [E] whispered in the sound [C#m] of [C#] silence
[Bm] [E] [G#]
