[D#m] Hello darkness my [C#] old friend, I've come to talk [D#m] with you again
[F#] Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping
[B] And the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still [D#m] remains
[D#m] of silence
dreams [C#] I walked alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone
the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar [B] to the [F#] cold and damp
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light
[F#] and touched [C#] the sound [D#m]

[D#m] _ _ _ _ _ Hello darkness my [C#] old friend, _ _ _ I've come to talk [D#m] with you _ again _ _
[F#] Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, _ _ left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping _ _
[B] And the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, _ still [D#m] remains
_ [F#] _ Within [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence
_ _ In restless dreams [C#] I walked alone, _ _ narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone
_ _ Neat the halo [B] of a [F#] street lamp, I turned my collar [B] to the [F#] cold and damp
When [B] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light
That split the [D#m] night _ [F#] _ and touched [C#] 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
And no one dares [D#m] _ [F#] _ disturb [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence
_ _ Fools say that you [C#] do not know, _ _ _ silence like [D#m] a cancer _ grows
_ Hear my words that I [B] might [F#] teach you, _ take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you
[B] But my _ words like silent _ [F#]
raindrops fell, _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
[F#] and _ _ [C#] echoed in the wells [D#m] of silence
_ _ And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, _ _ to the [D#] neon god they [D#m] made
_ _ And the sign [F#] flashed [B] out [F#] its warning, _ _ in the words that [B] it was [F#] forming
_ _ And the [B] sign said the words of the prophets are written on the [F#] subway walls
In tenement [D#m] halls, _ [F#] whisper _ [C#] in the _ sound _ of [D#m] _ silence
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _ _
