Tell the darkness my [D] old friend, that you will not be [Am] feared [Bm].
again,.
[Em] [G] Because the vision [C] softly [G] creeping, left its seeds while I [C].
[G] was sleeping,.
And [C] the vision that was planted in [G] my brain, still [Em] remains [G] within [D] the sound [Em] of silence.
.
In restless dreams I [D] walked alone, narrow streets [Em] of cobblestone, .
[G] Neath the halo [C] of a [G] street lamp, I turned my car to [C] the cold [G] damp,.
[C] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of any [G] old light,.
That split the [Em] night, [G] and [D] touched the sound [Em] of silence.
And in the naked [D] light I saw, ten thousand people, [Em] maybe more, .
People [G] talking [C] without [G] speaking, people hearing [C] without [G].
listening,.
People writing [C] songs, that voices never [G] share, and no one [Em] dared,.
[G] [D] Disturb the sound [Em] of silence, fools [G] that I [D] did not know, .
Silence like a [Em] panther grows, hear [G] my words and [C] I might teach [G] you,.
Take my arms and I [C] might reach out [G] to you, run [C] my words like silent [Em] raindrops [G] fell,.
[Em] .
[G] [D] [Em] And echoed [D] in the [Em] wells of silence, .
And the people [D] bowed and prayed, to the neon [Em] god they made, .
[G] And the signs [C] lasted [G] swirling, in the words that it [C] was [G] forming, .
And the signs [C] said the words of the prophets are written on the subway [G] walls,.
And tenement [Em] halls, [G] and whispered in [D] the sound [Bm] .
[Em] of [Bm] [E] silence.
