Hello darkness my old friend,
[B] I've come to talk with you [C#m] again
Because a vision [E] softly creeping, left the streets while I was sleeping
And [A] the vision that was planted in my [E] brain, still remains
[C#m] [E] Within [B] the sound [C#m] of silence, then restless dreams [B] I walked alone
Silence I guess [C#m] it grows, people talking [A] without [E] speaking
I'm bored living [A] without a [E] sleep, people writing [A] songs
That voices never [E] share, no one [C#m] there
[E] Within [B] the sound [C#m] of silence
[B] Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you [C#m]
again
Because a vision [A] softly [E] creeping, left the streets while [E] I was sleeping
And [A] the vision that was planted in my [E] brain, still remains
[C#m] Within [B] the sound [C#m] of silence, then [B] restless dreams I walked alone
Silence I guess [C#m] it grows, people talking [A] without [E] speaking
I'm bored living [A] without a sleep, people writing [A] songs
That voices never [E] share, no one [C#m] there
[E] It's not [B] the sound [C#m] of silence

Sound [C#] of silence
