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

Became [A] communion [D] on the lonely barricade [Bm] at dawn
Oh my friends, my friends, forgive me That I live and you [D] are gone
There's a grief that can't [Em] be spoken [F#] There's a pain goes on and [D#m] on
Phantom faces at the window Phantom shadows on [F#] the floor
Empty chairs at empty [G#m] tables [A#] Where my friends will meet [D#] no more
Oh my friends, my [D#m] friends, don't ask me What your sacrifice [F#] was for
Empty chairs at [G#m] empty tables Where [A#] my friends will sing [F#] no more
