[D] [Am] [Dm]
[A] Hello darkness [C] my old friend, I've come to [G] talk with you [Dm] again
Because a vision's [Bb] hardly [F] creepin' That this is [Bb] while I was [F] sleepin'
[Bb] And the vision that was planted in [F] my brain Still [Dm] remains [F] within [C] the sound [Dm] of silence
[D]
In restless dreams I walk [C] alone Through narrow streets of [Dm]
cobblestones
Beneath the hallow of [Bb] a street [F] lamp I turn my collar to [Bb] the cold [F] and damp
[Bb] When my eyes were stagged by the flash of the [F] neon light
Split [Dm] the night and touched [C] the sound [D] of silence
[Dm] And in the lake of [C] night I saw Ten thousand people, [Dm] maybe more
People talking [Bb] without [F] speaking People hearing [Bb] without [F] listening
People writing [Bb] songs that voices never [F] share No one [D] there
[F] List [C] of this sound [Dm] of silence
Who said I, you [C] do not know Silence like [Dm] a cancer grows
Hear my words that [Bb] I might [F] teach you Take my arms [Bb] that I might [F] reach you
But [Bb] my words like silence [F] raindrops fell
[Dm] [F] And echoed [C] in the wells [Dm] of silence
And the people [C] bowed and prayed To the neon god [Dm] they made
And the sign fleshed [Bb] out his [F] warning In the words that [Bb] it was [F] forming
And the sign [Bb] said the words of the promise Are written on the [F] subway walls
Gentlemen
[Dm] haunts [F] and whisper In [C] the sound of [Dm] silence
