[A]
Hello darkness my [C] old friend, I've come to talk with [E] you again.
[F] Because a vision [Bb] softly [F] creeping, Left its seeds while [Bb] I was [F] sleeping.
[Bb] And the vision that was planted in [F] my brain, Still remains.
Within [C] the sounds of [D] silence, [A] In restless [C] dreams I've walked alone.
Narrow streets of [Dm] cobblestone, [F] Neath the halo of a street lamp.
I turned my collar to the cold and damp, [Bb] When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [F] light.
Split the night, And [C] touched the sounds of [Dm] silence.
And in the naked [C] light I saw, Ten thousand people [Dm] maybe more.
[F] People talking without speaking, People hearing [Bbm] without listening.
People [A] writing [Bb] songs that voices [D] never [F]
share, No one [Dm] dare [C] disturb the sounds [Dm] of silence.
Foo said I [C] do not know, Silence like a cancer [Dm] grows.
[F] Hear my words that I might teach you, Take my arms that I might reach you.
But [Bb] my words like silent raindrops [F] fell, [C] Echoed in the wells [Dm] of silence.
And the [C] people bowed and prayed, To the neon god they made.
[F] And the sign flashed out its warning, In the words that [Bb] it was for me.
And the sign said the words of the prophets, Are written on the [E] subway [F]
walls,
And tenement [Dm] halls, And [C] whispered the sounds of [D] silence.
