Intro: |
Ebm C# |
Hello darkness, my old friend |
Ebm |
I've come to talk with you again |
B F# |
Because a vision softly creeping |
B F# |
Left its seeds while I was sleeping |
B |
And the vision |
F# |
that was planted in my brain |
F# Ebm F# |
Still remains |
C# Ebm |
Within the sound of silence |
Ebm C# |
In restless dreams I walked alone |
Ebm |
Narrow streets of cobblestone |
B F# |
'Neath the halo of a street lamp |
F# |
I turned my collar |
B F# |
to the cold and damp |
B |
When my eyes were stabbed |
B F# |
By the flash of a neon light |
F# Ebm F# |
That split the night |
C# Ebm |
And touched the sound of silence |
Ebm C# |
And in the naked light I saw |
Ebm |
Ten thousand people, maybe more |
B F# |
People talking without speaking |
B F# |
People hearing without listening |
B |
People writing songs |
F# |
That voices never share |
F# Ebm F# |
And no one dared |
C# Ebm |
Disturb the sound of silence |
Ebm C# |
"Fools," said I, "You do not know |
Ebm |
Silence like a cancer grows |
B F# |
Hear my words that I might teach you |
B F# |
Take my arms that I might reach you." |
B |
But my words |
B F# Ebm |
Like silent raindrops fell |
F# C# Ebm |
And echoed in the wells of silence |
Bridge: |
B B Ebm Ebm x2 |
Ebm C# |
And the people bowed and prayed |
Ebm |
To the neon god they made |
B F# |
And the sign flashed out its warning |
B F# |
In the words that it was forming |
B |
And the sign said, The words of the |
B |
Prophets are written |
F# |
on the subway walls |
F# Ebm |
And tenement halls |
F# C# |
And whispered in the sound |
Ebm |
of silence |
Ending: |
Ebm Ebm B B x2 |
