[Am] Hello darkness, my old [G] friend
I've come to talk with you [Am] again
Because a vision softly [F] creep-[C]ing
Left it's [Am] seeds while I was [F] sleep-[C]ing
And the [F] vision that was planted in my [C] brain
Still [Am] remains, Within the [G] sound of [Am] silence (STOP)

[Am] In restless dreams I walked [G] alone
Narrow streets of cobble-[Am]stone
'Neath the halo of a [F] street [C] lamp
I turned my collar to the [F] cold and [C] damp
When my [F] eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [C] light
That split the [Am] night and touched the [G] sound of [Am] silence (STOP)

And in the naked light I [G] saw
Ten thousand people, maybe [Am] more
People talking without [F] speak-[C]ing
[Am] People hearing without [F] listen-[C]ing
People writing [F] songs that voices never [C] share
And no one [Am] dare, disturb the [G] sound of [Am] silence (STOP)

Fools said I, you do not [G] know
Silence like a cancer [Am] grows.
Hear my words that I might [F] teach [C] you
[Am] Take my arms that I might [F] reach [C] you
But my [F] words like silent raindrops [C] fell
And [Am] echoed In the [G] wells of [Am] silence (STOP)

And the people bowed and [G] prayed
To the neon God they [Am] made
And the sign flashed out it's [F] warn-[C]ing
[Am] In the words that it was [F] form-[C]ing
And the [Am] sign said, the [F] words of the prophets
Are written on the subway [C] walls and tenement [Am] halls
And whispered in the [G] sounds of [Am] silence
