Tone ca sĩ tham khảo: Simon & Garfunkel: Ebm
[Em] Hello darkness, my old [D] friend
I've come to talk with you [Em] again
Because a vision soft [C] ly cree-ping [G]
Left its seeds while I [C] was sleeping [G]
And the [C] vision that was planted in my [G] brain
Still re- [Em] mains within the [D] sound of [Em] silence
In restless dreams I walked [D] alone
Narrow streets of cobble [Em] stone
'Neath the halo of [C] a street lamp [G]
I turned my collar to the [C] cold and damp [G]
When my [C] eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon [G] light
That split the [Em] night and touched the [D] sound of [Em] silence
And in the naked light I [D] saw
Ten thousand people, maybe [Em] more
People talking with- [C] out speaking [G]
People hearing with- [C] out listening [G]
People writing [C] songs that voices never [G] share
And no one [Em] dared disturb the [D] sound of [Em] silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not [D] know
Silence like a cancer [Em] grows
Hear my words that I [C] might teach you [G]
Take my arms that I [C] might reach you" [G]
But my [C] words, like silent raindrops [G] fell
And [Em] echoed in the [D] wells of [Em] silence
And the people bowed and [D] prayed
To the neon god they [Em] made
And the sign flashed out [C] its warning [G]
In the words that it [C] was forming [G]
And the sign said, "The [C] words of the prophets are written on the subway [G] walls
And tenement [Em] halls" and whispered in the [D] sounds of [Em] silence.
