[Dm]
[A] Hello darkness [C] my old friend, I've come to [G] talk with [Dm] you again.
Because a vision's [Bb] oddly [F] creepin', that exists while [Bb] I was [F] sleepin'.
[Bb] And the vision that was planting my [F] brain, still [Dm]
remains [F] within [C] the sound [Dm] of silence.
[D] In restless dreams I [C] walked alone, through narrow streets of [D] [Dm] cobblestones.
Beneath the hallow of [Bb] a street [F]
lamp, I turned my collar [Bb] to the cold [F] and damp.
[Bb] When my eyes were staggered by the flash of the [F] neon light, split [Dm] the night [F]
and touched [C] the sound [D] of silence.
[Dm] And in the lake [C] of night I saw, ten thousand people [Dm] maybe more.
People [Bb] talking without [F] speaking, people hearing [Bb] without [F] listening.
People writing [Bb] songs, that voices never [F] share, no one there.
[D]
[F] This stuff [C] is sound [Dm] of silence.
Who said I, you [C] do not know, silence like a [Dm] cancer grows.
Hear my words that [Bb] I might [F] teach you, take my [Bb] arms that I might [F] reach you.
[Bb] But my words, like silence raindrops [F] fell, [Dm]
[F] and [C] echoed in the wells [Dm] of silence.
And the people [C] bowed and prayed, to the neon [Dm] god they made.
And the sign flashed out [Bb] his [F] warning, in the words that it [Bb] was [F] forming.
And the sign [Bb] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F] walls.
Ten men [Dm]
hushed [F] and [C] whispered in the sound [Dm] of silence.
