[D#] Hello [G#m] 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 [B] [F#] was sleeping.
[B] And the vision that was planted in [F#] my brain, still remains [D#m] within [A#m] the sound [D#m] of silence.
In restless dreams I [C#] walked alone, 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,
I split the night [D#m] and [F#] [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 that voices never [F#] shared.
No one dared [D#m] [F#] disturb [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence.
Fools say I [C#] do not know, silence like [D#m] the cancer grows.
Hear my words that [B] I [F#] might teach you, take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you.
[B] But my words like silent [F#] raindrops fell, [B] [F#] [D#m]
[F#] and echoed [C#] the will [D#m] of silence.
And the people [C#] vowed to pray, to the neon [D#m] 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#] wall.
Tenement [D#m] halls [F#] [C#]
[G#] of silence.
[D#]
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while I [B] [F#] was sleeping.
[B] And the vision that was planted in [F#] my brain, still remains [D#m] within [A#m] the sound [D#m] of silence.
In restless dreams I [C#] walked alone, narrow streets [D#m] of cobblestone.

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.

No one dared [D#m] [F#] disturb [C#] the sound [D#m] of silence.
Fools say I [C#] do not know, silence like [D#m] the cancer grows.
Hear my words that [B] I [F#] might teach you, take my arms that [B] I might [F#] reach you.
[B] But my words like silent [F#] raindrops fell, [B] [F#] [D#m]
[F#] and echoed [C#] the will [D#m] of silence.
