(Verse 2) C Am G G7 Dm Am In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobble-stone, C Am C F C Am C F C 'Neath the halo of a new street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp, Am G7 F G7 Am C Am Am7 C When my eyes, were stabbed, by the flash of a ne - on light, that split the night, Am G G7 C Am And touched the sound, of si - lence. (Verse 3) C Am G G7 Dm Am And in the naked light I saw, ten thousand people maybe more, C Am C F C Am C F C People talking withou - out speaking, people hearing withou - out listening, Am G7 F G7 Am C Am Am7 C People writing songs, that voices, ne - ver share, and no - one dare, Am G G7 C Am Disturb the sound, of sil - ence. (Verse 4) C Am G G7 Dm Am Fools said I, you do not know, silence like a cancer grows, C Am C F C Am C F C Hear my words that I mi - ght teach you, take my arms that I mi -ght reach you, Am G7 F G7 Am C Am Am7 C But my words, like silent raindrops fell, and ech – oed, in, Am G G7 C Am The wells of sil - ence. (Verse 5) C Am G G7 Dm Am And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon God they made, C Am C F C Am C F C And the sign flashed out it's wa – arn - ing, in the words that it was for – or - ming, Am G7 F G7 Am C Am Am7 C And the sign, said the words of the prophets are written on the sub-way walls, and tenement halls, Am G G7 C Am And whispered in, the sound of sil - ence.
