[G#] [C#m]
Hello darkness [B] my old friend, I've come to talk [C#m] with you again
[E] Because a vision [A] softly [E] creeping, left its seeds [A] while I was [E] sleeping
And the vision [A]
that was planted in [E] my brain, still [C#m] remains
[E] Within [B] the sound [G#] of silence
[C#m] In restless dreams I [B] walked alone, narrow streets of [C#]
cobblestone
[E] Beneath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp
[E] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
Split the [C#m] night,
[E] and [B] touched the sound [C#] of silence
[C#m]
And in the naked [B] light I saw, ten thousand people [C#m] maybe more
People [E] talking without speaking, people hearing [A] without [E] listening
People writing [A]
songs, that voices never [E] share
No one [C#m] dared, [E] [B] disturb the sound [C#] of silence
Fools that I [B] do not know, silence like [C#] a cancer grows
Hear [E] my words [A] that I might [E] teach you, take my arms that I might reach you
[A] But my words like silent rain [E] drops fell,
[C#m] [E] an echo [B] in the wells [C#] of silence
And the people [B] bowed and prayed, to the neon [C#] god they made
[E] And the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming
And the [A] sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [E] walls
And tenement [C#m] halls
[E] whispered [B] in the sound [G#] of silence
[C#m]
Hello darkness [B] my old friend, I've come to talk [C#m] with you again
