[Am]
Hello darkness [G] my old friend, I've come to talk [Am] with you again.
Because the vision [F] softly [C] creeping, left its seeds while I [F] was [C] sleeping.
[F] And the vision that was planted in [C] my brain, still [Am] remains.
[C] Within [G] the sound [Am] of silence, it crept the streams I [G] walked alone, narrow streets [Am] of cobblestone.
Be the halo [F] of a [C] street lamp, turn my color [F] to the [C] cold and damp.
When [F] my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [C] light.
Split the [Am] night, [C] and taste [G] the sound [Am] of silence.
And in the naked [G] light I saw, ten thousand [Am] people maybe more.
People talking [F] without [C] speaking, people living [F] without [C]
listening.
People writing [F]
songs, that voices [C] never shared, no one [Am] did.
[C] Just [G] learn the sound [Am] of silence.
So say Ayi [G] Dunanu, silence like a [Am] candler grows.
Say my words that [F] I might [C] beat you, say my arms [F] that I might [C] beat you.
But [F] my words, like silent [C] raindrops fell,
[Am] [C] echoed [G] in the wells [Am] of silence.
The people [G] bowed and prayed, to the [Am] neon god they made.
And the sign flashed [F] out [C] its warning, and the word that [F] it was [C] for me.
And the sign [F] said the words of the prophets are written on the [C] subway walls, and tenement [Am] halls.
[C]
[G] [Am] Don't [G] forget [B] to subscribe.
