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