Intro 1
(A minor) (A minor)
Verse 1
Hello darkness, my old (G major) friend
I've come to talk with you a (A minor) gain
Because a vision softly (F major) creeping (C major)
Left its seeds while I was (F major) sleeping (C major)
And the (F major) vision that was planted in my brain (C major)
Still remains (A minor)
(C major) Within the (G major) sound of (A minor) silence

Verse 2
In restless dreams I walked a (G major) lone
Narrow streets of cobble (A minor) stone
'Neath the halo of a (F major) street (C major) lamp
I turned my collar to the (F major) cold and damp (C major)
When my (F major) eyes were stabbed
by the flash of a neon light (C major)
That split the night (A minor)
(C major) And touched the (G major) sound of (A minor) silence
Verse 3
And in the naked light I (G major) saw
Ten thousand people, maybe (A minor) more
People (C major) talking without (F major) speaking (C major)
People hearing without (F major) listening (C major)
People writing (F major) songs that voices never share (C major)
And no one dared (A minor)
(C major) Disturb the (G major) sound of (A minor) silence
Verse 4
"Fools" said I, "You do not (G major) know
Silence like a cancer (A minor) grows
Hear my words that I might (F major) teach you (C major)
Take my arms that I might (F major) reach you" (C major)
But my (F major) words like silent raindrops (C major) fell
(A minor) And (C major) echoed in the (G major) wells of (A minor) silence
Verse 5
And the people bowed and (G major) prayed
To the neon god they (A minor) made
And the sign flashed out its (F major) warning (C major)
In the words that it was (F major) forming (C major)
And the sign said, "The (F major) words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls (C major)
And tenement halls (A minor)
And (C major) whispered in the (G major) sounds
of (A minor) silence (A minor)
