[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
