Am Am Hello darkness, my old Gfriend, GI've come to talk with you aAmgain,
[Am 1,2 C 3, 4][F C] C [F C]
Because a vision softly creeping, Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
C F F C [C Am]
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains
Within the sound of Gsilence. Am
[Verse 2]
Am In restless dreams I walked aGlone Gnarrow streets of cobblesAmtone,
[Am 1,2,3 C 4][F C] C [F C]
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp
C F F C [C Am]
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night,
And touched the sound of Gsilence. Am
[Verse 3]
Am And in the naked light I Gsaw Gten thousand people, maybe Ammore.
[Am 1,2,3 C 4] [F C] C [F C]
People talking without speaking, People hearing without listening,
C F F C [C Am]
People writing songs that voices never share And no one dare
Disturb the sound of Gsilence. Am
[Verse 4]
Am Fools said I, you do not Gknow GSilence like a cancer Amgrows.
[Am 1,2,3 C 4] [F C] C [F C]
Hear my words that I might teach you; take my arms that I might reach you.
C F F C [C Am] C G Am
But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence.
[Verse 5]
Am And the people bowed and Gprayed Gto the neon God they Ammade.
[Am 1,2,3 C 4] [F C] C [F C]
And the sign flashed out it's warning, in the words that it was forming.
C And the sign said, “The Fwords of the prophets are Fwritten on the subway Cwalls
[C Am] C G Am Am
And tenement halls”. And whispered in the sounds of silence.
