Chords for Don McLean - 'If We Try' / 'Empty Chairs'

Welcome to the National Stadium, Dublin.
Now in concert, a singer from America who's had many worldwide hit songs to his credit in his own highly individual style.
He's appeared in Malibu before, so now back again, and about to fill you softly with his songs, is Don McLean.
On stage, at the stadium.
When _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I see you on the street I lose my concentration
_ Just _ _ the thought that we might meet creates _ anticipation
_ Won't [Em] you look my way once [D] before you go
[G] And my eyes will say what [Bm] you oughta know
[Am] I've been thinking about you day [D] and night
_ [Am] And I don't know if it'll work [D] out right
But [Am] somehow I think that it [D] just might
If [G] we try
[F] _ _ [E] Faces _ _ [A] _ _
come and faces go in circular rotation _ _ _ _ _ _
Something yearns [F#m] within [A] to grow beyond _ infatuation
_ [Em] Won't you look my way [D] once before you go
[G] And my eyes will say what [Bm] you oughta know
[Am] Well you've got me standing deaf and [D] blind
_ [Am] Cause I see love as just a state [D] of mind
[Am] And who knows what it is that we might [D] find
_ _ [C] [G] If we try
_ You're _ _ [Gm] _
walking a [C] different direction [Gm] from most people [C] I've _ met
[Am] _ You're giving [D] me signs of affection [Am] I don't usually [D] get
I [Em] _ _ want you to [Bm] pledge your future, [Am] the [D] future's not [G] yours to give
_ [Em] Just stand there a [Bm] little longer [C] and let me [Am] watch [F] while you _ _ _ [E] live _ _
[G] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Cause when I see you on the street I lose my concentration _ _ _
Just the thought that we might meet creates _ anticipation
_ [Em] Won't you look my way [D] once before you go
[G] And my eyes will say what [Bm] you oughta know
Well it's [Am] so nice to see it all work [D] out
_ [Am] Cause that's what fantasies are [D] all about
And [Am] we can know the truth without [D] a doubt
If [G] we try
[F] _ _ [E] Yes _ [Am] we can know the truth without [D] a doubt
_ If [G] we try
_ [C] I _ _ _ [G] _ [G#] _
[D] _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ feel a trembling [A] tingle of a sleepless night
[C] _ With [D] my fingers [Gm] on his [C] arm
[G] _ Beams of blue come flickering [Am] through my [A] windowpane
[C] _ Like [G] gypsy [D] malls that dance [G] around a candle [C] flame
[G] _ And I wonder [Am] if you know [D] that _ I never [G] understood
_ [Em] That _ although [Am] you said you'd [C] go until you [D] did
I never thought [G] you would
_ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [D] _ [C] _ [G] _ [C] _ [D] _ _ _
[G] _ _ Moonlight used to bathe the [A] contours of your [C] face
While chestnut hair fell all [G] around a [C] pillowcase
[G] And the fragrance of your flowers [C] rest [A] beneath my head
[C] A sympathy [D]
bouquet left with [G] a love that's dead _ _
And I wonder [Am] if you know _ [D] that I never [G] understood
_ [Em] That although you [C] said you'd go until you did
[Dm] I never thought [G] you would
_ Never thought the words [Em] you said were [G] true
[A] _ _
[G] Never thought you [D] said just what you meant
[G] I never knew how much I [Em] needed you
_ _ [Am]
Never thought [C] you'd [D] leave _ _
Until [G] you went
_ _ [Am] _ _
Morning [D] _ _ _ [C] _ [Bm] _ [Am] _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ comes and [A] morning goes with no regret
[C] And evening brings the memories [G] I can't [C] forget
[G] _ Empty rooms that echo [Am] as I climb [Em] the [A] stairs
[C] _
And empty [D] clothes that drape and [Am] fall [G] on empty [C] chairs
[G] _ And I wonder [Am] if you know _ _ [D] that I never [G] understood
_ [Em] That _ although you said [C] you'd go until you [D] did
I never thought [G] you would
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
