*WOW! Disturbed did a fine job of covering this song!
This was just so beautiful.
[Verse I]
F#m E
Hello darkness, my old friend,
F#m
I've come to talk with you again,
D A
Because a vision softly creeping,
D A
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping,
D A
And the vision that was planted in my brain
F#m
Still remains
E F#m
Within the sound of silence.
[Verse II]
F#m E
In restless dreams I walked alone
F#m
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
F#m D A
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
D A
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
D A
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
F#m A
That split the night
E F#m
And touched the sound of silence.
[Verse III]
F#m E
And in the naked light I saw
F#m
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
D A
People talking without speaking,
D A
People hearing without listening,
D A
People writing songs that voices never share
F#m
And no one dare
E F#m
Disturb the sound of silence.
[Verse IV]
F#m E
Fools said I, you Do not know
F#m
Silence like a cancer grows.
D A
Hear my words that I might teach you,
D A
Take my arms that I might reach you.
D A
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
F#m
And echoed
E F#m
In the wells of silence
[Verse V]
F#m E
And the people bowed and prayed
F#m
To the neon God they made.
D A
And the sign flashed out it's warning,
D A
In the words that it was forming.
D
And the sign said, the words of the prophets
A
Are written on the subway walls
F#m
And tenement halls.
E F#m
And whispered in the sounds of silence.
