Verse 1

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] Hello darkness, my old

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] friend,

I've come to talk with you a-

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] gain,

Because a vision soft-

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] ly creep-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] ing,

Left its seeds while I

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] was sleep-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] ing,

And the

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] vision that was planted in my

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] brain

Still re-

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] mains within the

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] sound of

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] silence.

Verse 2

In restless dreams I walked

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] alone

Narrow streets of cobble-

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] stone,

'neath the halo of

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] a street

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] lamp,

I turned my collar to the

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] cold and

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] damp

When my

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] light

That split the

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] night and touched the

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] sound of

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] silence.

Verse 3

And in the naked light I

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] saw

Ten thousand people, maybe

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] more.

People talking with-

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] out speak-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] ing,

People hearing with

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] out listen-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] ing,

People writing

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] songs that voices never

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] share

And no one

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] dare, disturb the

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] sound of

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] silence.

Verse 4

Fools said I, you do not

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] know

Silence like a cancer

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] grows.

Hear my words that I

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] might teach

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] you,

Take my arms that I

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] might reach

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] you.

But my

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] words like silent raindrops

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] fell,

And

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] echoed in, in the

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] wells of

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] silence

Verse 5

And the people bowed and

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] prayed

To the neon God they

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] made.

And the sign flashed out

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] it's warn-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] ing,

In the words that it

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] was form-

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] ing.

And the sign said, the

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Sixth] words of the prophets are written on the subway

[GMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Major Third] walls and tenement

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] halls.

And

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] whisper'd in the

[DMajor Chord (U,M3,P5) on the Minor Seventh] sounds of

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5) on the Perfect Unison] silence.
