Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Asus2[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Hello, darkness, my old friend,
ch]Am[/ch
I've come to talk with you again,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Because a vision softly creeping,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And the vision that was planted in my brain,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Still re-mains,
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Within the sound of silence.
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch]* [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gadd11[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gadd11[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
In restless dreams, I walked alone,
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Fsus2[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Fsus2[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Fsus2[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
That split the night,
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gadd11[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And touched the sound . . . of silence.
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gadd11[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gadd11[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And in the naked light, I saw,
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Ten thousand people, maybe more,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
People talking without speaking,
ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
People hearing without listening,
ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Fsus2[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
People writing songs that voices never shared,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And no one dared,
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gadd11[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Disturb the sound . . . of silence.
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gadd11[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gadd11[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
"Fools," said I, "You do not know,
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
Silence, like a cancer, grows,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Hear my words that I might teach you,
ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Take my arms that I might reach you",
ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]Fsus2[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But my words, like silent raindrops, fell,
ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And echoed in the wells of silence.
Verse 5→ Phiên khúc
ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gadd9[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]Gadd9[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And the people bowed and prayed,
ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
To the neon god they made,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And the sign flashed its warning,
ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]C6/E[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
In the words that it was forming,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls,
ch]F[/ch] [ch]Fsus2[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch
And tenement halls,
[ch]G/B[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]* [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Asus2[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Asus2[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]Am7[/ch]*
And whispered in the sound . . . of silence".
