Hello darkness my [C#] 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 [C#] the sound [A#] of silence, [D#m] in restless dreams I walk alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone, sweep and halo [B] of a street [F#] lamp
I turn my collar to [B] a [F#] cold and damp, [B] when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light
Split the night, [D#m] [F#] and touch [C#] the sound, [D#m] of silence
And in the naked [C#] light I saw, ten thousand people maybe [D#] more
[D#m] People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening
People writing [B] songs, that voices never share
No one [D#m] there, [C#] to stir the sound, [D#m] of silence
Fools that I [C#] do not know, silence like a [D#] cancer grows
[D#m] Hear my words [B] that I might teach [F#] you, take my arms that I [B] might reach you
[B] But my words, like silent rain, [F#]
can echo [C#] the will [D#m] of silence
And the people [C#] bowed and prayed, to the neon [D#m] god they made
And the sign [B] flashed out its [F#] warning, in the words [B] that it was [F#] forming
And the sign said the words of the prophets are written on the subway wall
And the gentlemen all [D#m] [F#] whispered the [C#] sounds of [F] silence
[D#m]
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 [C#] the sound [A#] of silence, [D#m] in restless dreams I walk alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone, sweep and halo [B] of a street [F#] lamp
I turn my collar to [B] a [F#] cold and damp, [B] when my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F#] light
Split the night, [D#m] [F#] and touch [C#] the sound, [D#m] of silence
And in the naked [C#] light I saw, ten thousand people maybe [D#] more
[D#m] People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening
People writing [B] songs, that voices never share
