CAPO 1

[Verse]
Am                                   
There's a grief that can't be spoken.
                           C  
There's a pain goes on and on.
                      Dm    
Empty chairs at empty tables
         E                  Am   
Now my friends are dead and gone.
Am                             
Here they talked of revolution.
                          C    
Here it was they lit the flame.
                        Dm     
Here they sang about `tomorrow'
       E            Am  
And tomorrow never came.

[Chorus]
          C    C7      F    
From the table in the corner
           Cm7     F7     Bb 
They could see a world reborn
         G7/B              C     
And they rose with voices ringing
       Bb        A  
I can hear them now!
          Dm         Dm7      Bb 
The very words that they had sung
   Gm        G7       F    
Became their last communion
C                 C6      Am    
On the lonely barricade at dawn.

[Verse]
Am                                  
Oh my friends, my friends forgive me
                         C   
That I live and you are gone.
                               Dm    
There's a grief that can't be spoken.
           E               C#m
There's a pain goes on and on.
C#m                         
Phantom faces at the window.
                        E    
Phantom shadows on the floor.
                       F#m  
Empty chairs at empty tables
           G#                  C#m 
Where my friends will meet no more.
C#m                                    
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
                         E 
What your sacrifice was for
                      F#m   
Empty chairs at empty tables
           G#                 C#m  C#m7 C#m6 C#m
Where my friends will sing no more.
