	Am	G
H	ello darkness my old fri	end,

	Am
I've come to talk with you ag	ain.

	C	F	C
Because a vi	sion softl	y creep	ing

	F	C
Left it's seed while I w	as sleep	ing,

	F	C
And the vis	ion that was planted in my br	ain

	Am
Still rem	ains

	C	G	Am
Wit	hin the s	ounds of si	lence.

	Am	G
I	n restless dreams I walked a	lone,

	Am
Narrow streets of cobble	stone.

	C	F	C
'Neath the	halo of a	street	lamp,

	F	C
I turned my collar to the	cold and	damp,

	F	C
When my	eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon	light

	Am
That split the	night

	C	G	Am
And	touched the s	ounds of si	lence.

	Am	G
And	in the naked light I	saw

	Am
Ten thousand people, maybe	more.

	C	F	C
People	talking with	out speak	ing,

	F	C
People hearing with	out listen	ing,

	F	C
People writing	songs that voices never	shared,

	Am
And no one	dared

	C	G	Am
Dis	turb the s	ounds of si	lence.

	Am	G
	"Fools!" said I, "you do not	know,

	Am
Silence like a cancer	grows.

	C	F	C
Hear my	words that I	might teach	you,

	F	C
Take my arms that I	might reach	you."

	F	C	Am
But my	words like silent raindrops	fell...

	C	G	Am
And	echoed in the	wells of si	lence.

	Am	G
	And the people bowed and	prayed

	Am
To the neon gods they	made.

	C	F	C
And the	sign flashed out	its warn	ing,

	F	C
In the words that it	was form	ing,

	F	C
And the sign said, "The	words of the prophets are written on the subway	walls

	Am
And tenement	halls."

	C	G	Am
And	whispered in the s	ounds of si	lence.
