[Am]
There's grief that can't be spoken There's pain that [C] goes on and on
Empty chairs [Dm] at empty tables Now [E] my friends are dead [Am] and gone
Here they talked of revolution Here it was they lit [C] the flame
Here they sang [Dm] about tomorrow And [E] tomorrow never [Am]
came
From [C] the table in [F] the corner They [Cm] could see [F] a world [A#] reborn
And they [G] rose with voices [C] ringing And [A#] I can hear [A] them now
The very [Dm] word that they [A#] had sung [Dm]
[Gm] Became their last [G] communion
[F] I'm a lonely [Am] barricade at dawn All my friends, my friends, forgive me
That I live and [C] you are gone
There's a grief that can't be [Dm] spoken [E] There's a pain that goes on [C#m] and on
Phantom faces at the window Phantom shadows [E] on the floor
Empty chairs [F#m] at empty tables [G#] Where my friends will meet [C#m] no more
All my friends, my friends, what your sacrifice [E] was for
Empty chairs at empty [F#m] tables Where [G#] my friends will sing
[C#] [C#m] [C#m]
There's grief that can't be spoken There's pain that [C] goes on and on
Empty chairs [Dm] at empty tables Now [E] my friends are dead [Am] and gone
Here they talked of revolution Here it was they lit [C] the flame
Here they sang [Dm] about tomorrow And [E] tomorrow never [Am]
came
From [C] the table in [F] the corner They [Cm] could see [F] a world [A#] reborn
And they [G] rose with voices [C] ringing And [A#] I can hear [A] them now
The very [Dm] word that they [A#] had sung [Dm]
[Gm] Became their last [G] communion
[F] I'm a lonely [Am] barricade at dawn All my friends, my friends, forgive me
That I live and [C] you are gone
There's a grief that can't be [Dm] spoken [E] There's a pain that goes on [C#m] and on
Phantom faces at the window Phantom shadows [E] on the floor
Empty chairs [F#m] at empty tables [G#] Where my friends will meet [C#m] no more
All my friends, my friends, what your sacrifice [E] was for
Empty chairs at empty [F#m] tables Where [G#] my friends will sing
[C#] [C#m] [C#m]
