[D#] [Fm] Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, I've come to talk with [D#m] you again
a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still remains
[D#m] [F#] Within [A#m] [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence, in restless [F] dreams I walked [C#] alone
streets of [D#m] cobblestone, leave the middle [B] of any street [F#] lamp
turned my collar [B] to the cold [F#] and damp, when [B] my eyes were strapped by the flash of a neon [F#] light
[F#] and touch [C#] the sound,
[D#m] silent
a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still remains
[D#m] [F#] Within [A#m] [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence, in restless [F] dreams I walked [C#] alone
streets of [D#m] cobblestone, leave the middle [B] of any street [F#] lamp
turned my collar [B] to the cold [F#] and damp, when [B] my eyes were strapped by the flash of a neon [F#] light
[F#] and touch [C#] the sound,
[D#m] silent

[D#] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] Hello darkness [C#] my old friend, _ _ I've come to talk with [D#m] you again
_ _ Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, _ _ left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping _
And [B] the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, _ still remains
[D#m] _ [F#] Within [A#m] [C#] the sound _ [D#m] of silence, _ _ _ in restless [F] dreams I walked [C#] alone
_ _ Narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone, _ _ _ leave the middle [B] of any street [F#] lamp
I turned my collar [B] to the cold [F#] and damp, _ when [B] my eyes were strapped by the flash of a neon [F#] light
_ Split the [D#m] night, _ _ [F#] and touch [C#] the sound, _ _
[D#m] silent
_ _ _ And in the naked [C#] light I saw, _ _ ten thousand people [F] maybe [D#m] more
_ _ People talking [B] without _ [F#] speaking, _ _ people [B] hearing without [F#] listening _ _
People [D#m] writing [B] _ _ songs, that voices never [F#] share
_ No one there, [D#] _ [F#] _ _ [C#] discovered the sound _ [D#m] of silence
_ Fool said I [A#m] do not _ [C#] know, _ _ silence like [D#] a cancer _ grows
Hear my words [B] that I might beat [D#m] you, [F#] take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you
[B] But my _ words, like silent _ [F#]
raindrops fell, _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ [F#] echoes _ [C#] _ of _
_ [D#m] silence
_ _ _ [D#] And the people [C#] bowed and _ prayed, _ to the neon [D#] god they _ made
And the sign [B] flashed out its [F#] warning, _ in the [B] words that it was [F#] forming _ _
And the sign said the words [B] of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] walls
_ Ten of them [D#m] all, _ [F#] _ _ _ [C#] whispered the _ sound _ [D#] of silence
_ _ _ [A#m] _ _ [D#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, _ _ left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping _
