[F#m]
Hello darkness [E] my old friend, I've come to talk with you [C#] again
[F#m]
[D] Because a vision softly [A] creeping, lifted seats [D] while I was [A] sleeping
And [D] the vision that was planted in my [A] brain, [F#m] still remains [A] [E] within the sound [F#] of [F#m] [C#] silence
[F#] In [Bm] restless dreams [E] I walk alone, narrow streets of [F#m] cobblestone
Need the halo of [D] a [A] street lamp, I turn my color to [D] the cold and [A] damp
When [D] my eyes were set by the flash of a neon [A] light, [Bm] that [F#m] split the [G#m] night [A]
and touched the [E] sound [F#m] of silence
[E] Sending [F#m] the naked light [E] I saw, ten thousand people maybe [F#m]
more
People talking [D] without [A] speaking, people hearing [D] without [A] listening
People writing [D] songs, that voices never [A] share
No [F#m] one [A] there, [F#m] to [E] disturb the sound [F#m] of silence
Voices that I [E] do not know, silence like a [F#m] cancer grows
In my world that [D] I might [A] teach you, take my arms and [D] I might [A] reach you
But [D] my words, like silent raindrops [A] fell, [F#m] [A] under cold [E] and the words [F#m] of silence
[E] And [A] the [F#m] people fell [E] and prayed, to the living God, [F#] [F#m] saying
And the sound of the shadow [D] [A] is falling, and the world said it [D] was [A] for me
And the sire said [D] the words of the prophets are written on the subway [A] walls
And gentlemen [F#m] in the [G#m] [A] hall, [F#m] and whisper [E] in the sound
[Am] of silence
