[D#] [F] 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.
[B] And the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still [A#m] remains [D#m] [F#] within [C#] the sound [D#]
of [G#] silence.
[D#m] In restless dreams [C#] I walked alone, narrow streets of [D#m] cobblestone.
Deeper [B] hillow of a [F#] street lamp, I've turned my collar [B] to the cold [F#] and damp.
[B] When my eyes were spelt by the flash of a neon [F#] light.
Split the [D#m] night [F#] and [C#] touched the sound [D#m] of silence.
And in the [G#m] naked [C#] light I saw, ten thousand people [D#m] maybe more.
People talking [B] without [F#] speaking, people hearing [B] without [F#] listening.
[D#m] People writing [B] songs that voices never [F#] shared.
No one [D#m] there, [F#] to [C#] spirit the sound [D#m] of silence.
Fools say I do [C#] not know, silence like a [D#] cancer grows.
[D#m] Hear my words [B] that I might teach [F#] you, take my arms [B] that I might reach [F#] you.
But [B] my words like silent [F#] raindrops fell, [D#m]
[F#] the echo [C#] of
[D#m] silence.
[D#] 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 [D#m] sign said [B] the words of the prophets are written on the subway [F#] walls.
Tenement [D#m] halls, [F#] whispering [C#] in the sound [G#] of [A#m] silence.
[D#] [A#m] [D#m]
Because a vision [B] softly [F#] creeping, left its seeds while [B] I was [F#] sleeping.
[B] And the vision that was planted in my [F#] brain, still [A#m] remains [D#m] [F#] within [C#] the sound [D#]
of [G#] silence.

[D#m] Hear my words [B] that I might teach [F#] you, take my arms [B] that I might reach [F#] you.
But [B] my words like silent [F#] raindrops fell, [D#m]
[F#] the echo [C#] of
[D#m] silence.
