Capo Fret 6

	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
	Within the s	ounds of si	lence.

	G
In restless dreams I walked al	one,

	Am
Narrow streets of cobble	stone.

	F	C
'Neath the halo of a	street l	amp,

	F	C
I turned my collar to the c	old and d	amp,

	F	C
When my e	yes were stabbed by the flash of a neon l	ight

	Am
That split the ni	ght

	C	G	Am
	And touched the sou	nds of si	lence.

	G
And in the naked light I s	aw

	Am
Ten thousand people, maybe m	ore.

	F	C
People talking witho	ut speak	ing,

	F	C
People hearing witho	ut listen	ing,

	F	C
People writing so	ngs that voices never sha	red,

	Am
And no one da	red

	C	G	Am
	Disturb the sou	nds of si	lence.

	G
"Fools!" said I, "you do not kn	ow,

	Am
Silence like a cancer gro	ws.

	F	C
Hear my words that I mi	ght teach y	ou,

	F	C
Take my arms that I mi	ght reach y	ou."

	F	C
But my wo	rds like silent raindrops fe	ll

	Am	G	Am
	And echoed in the wel	ls of si	lence.

	G
And the people bowed and pra	yed

	Am
To the neon gods they ma	de.

	F	C
And the sign flashed out i	ts warn	ing,

	F	C
In the words that it w	as form	ing,

	F	C
And the sign said, "The wor	ds of the prophets are written on the subway wal	ls

	Am
And tenement ha	lls."

	C	G	Am
And whis	pered in the so	unds of sil	ence.

	A4	Am
	pluck strings 3,1,2,1 3,1,2,1,3,1,2,1,	Strum
