Hel - lo dark-ness, my old friend
5* 5* 5* 5* 5* -6 -5 -5
I've come to talk with you a-gain
-5 -5 -5 7* 7* 8 8_-8* -8* 8
Be-cause a vis-ion soft-ly___ creep-ing
-5 -5 6* 6* 8 8_-8* -8* 8
Left its seeds while I was_ sleep-ing
-5 -5 -8* -8* -8* 9* -9 -9 9* -8* 8
And the vis-ion that was plant-ed in my brain
-8* 8 7*
Still re-mains
-5 -5 -5 8 5* -5 -4*
With-in the sound of sil-ence
-4* -4* -4* -5 -5 7* 7* -8
In rest-less dreams I walked a-lone
5* 5* 5* 5* -6 -6 -5
Nar-row streets of cob-ble-stone
-5 -5 7* 7* 8 8_-8* -8* 8
'Neath the ha-lo of a____ street lamp
-6 -6 -5 5* -4* 4 3* -8*_8 7* 8
I turned my col-lar to the cold_ and damp
-5 -5 -8* -8* -8*
When my eyes were stabbed
-8* 9* -9 -9 -9 -8* -7 7*
by the flash of a ne--on light
-5 -8* 8 7*
That split the night
-5 -5 -5 8 5* -5 -4*
And touched the sound of sil-ence
4 4 4 -5 -5 7* -5 -6
And in the nak-ed light I saw
5* 5* 5* 5* 5* -6 5* -5
Ten thous-and peo-ple, may-be more
-5 -5 7* 7* 8 8_-8* -8* 8
Peo-ple talk-ing with-out__ speak-ing
-5 -5 7* 7* 8 8_-8* -8* 8
Peo-ple hear-ing with-out__ list’n-ing
-5 -5 7* 8 -8* 9*
Peo-ple writ-ing songs that
-9 -9 9* -8* 8
Voic-es nev-er share
-5 -8* 8 7*
And no one dared
-5 -5 -5 8 5* -5 -4*
Dis-turb the sound of sil-ence
4 4 -5 -5 7* -5 -6
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
5* 5* 5* 5* -6 5* -5
Sil-ence like a can-cer grows
-5 -5 7* 7* 8 8_-8* -8* 8
Hear my words that I might teach you
-9 9* -8* 8 7* -5_-8* -8* 8
Take my arms that I might_ reach you"
-5 -5 -8* 9* -9 -9 9* -8* 8
But my words, like sil-ent rain-drops fell
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 8 5* -5 -4*
And ech-oed in the wells of sil-ence
4 4 -5 -5 7* -5 -6
And the peo-ple bowed and prayed
7* 7* 7* 7* 7* -7 -7
To the ne-on god they made
-5 -5 7* 7* 8 8_-8* -8* 8
And the sign flashed out its__ warn-ing
-9 9* -8* 8 7* -5_-8* -8* 8
In the words that it was___ form-ing
-5 -5 7* 8 8 -8* -8* -8* -8* -8*
And the sign said, "The words of the proph-ets
9* -9 -9 -9 -9 9* -8* 8
are writ-ten on the sub-way walls
-5 -8* -8* 8 7*
And ten- e -ment halls"
-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 8_________________ 5* -5 -4*
And whis-pered in the sounds____________ of sil-ence.
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
