[Am]
Hello darkness [G] my old friend, I've come to talk [Am] with you again.
Because the vision [F] softly [C] creeping, left its seeds while I [F] was [C] sleeping.
that was planted in [C] my brain, still [Am] remains.
[G] the sound [Am] of silence, it crept the streams I [G] walked alone, narrow streets [Am] of cobblestone.
Be the halo [F] of a [C] street lamp, turn my color [F] to the [C] cold and damp.
by the flash of a neon [C] light.
Split the [Am] night, [C] and taste [G] the sound [Am] of silence.

_ Hello darkness [G] my old friend, _ _ I've come to talk [Am] with you again.
_ _ _ Because the vision [F] softly [C] creeping, _ _ left its seeds while I [F] was [C] sleeping.
_ _ [F] And the vision _ that was planted in [C] my brain, still _ [Am] remains.
[C] _ Within [G] the _ sound [Am] of silence, _ _ it crept the streams I [G] walked alone, _ _ _ narrow streets [Am] of cobblestone.
_ _ Be the halo [F] of a [C] street lamp, _ turn my color [F] to the [C] cold and damp.
When [F] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [C] light. _
Split the [Am] night, _ [C] _ and taste [G] the sound [Am] of silence. _
And in the naked [G] light I saw, _ ten thousand [Am] people maybe _ more.
_ _ People talking [F] without [C] speaking, _ _ people living [F] without _ [C]
listening.
_ People writing [F] _ _
songs, that voices [C] never shared, _ no one [Am] did.
[C] _ Just [G] learn the _ sound [Am] of _ silence.
_ So say Ayi [G] Dunanu, _ _ _ _ silence like a [Am] candler grows.
_ _ Say my words that [F] I might [C] beat you, _ say my arms [F] that I might [C] beat you.
But [F] my words, like silent [C] raindrops fell, _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ echoed [G] in the _ wells [Am] of silence. _
The _ people [G] bowed and prayed, _ _ to the [Am] neon god they _ _ made.
And the sign flashed [F] out [C] its warning, _ _ and the word that [F] it was [C] for me.
_ And the sign [F] said the words of the prophets are written on the [C] subway walls, and tenement [Am] halls.
