Misc Musicals – Les Misérables - Empty Chairs At Empty Tables (Guitar)

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.

          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.

Am
    Oh my friends, my friends forgive me

                         C
That I live and you are gone.

There's a grief that can't be spoken.

    Phantom faces at the window.

                        E
Phantom shadows on the floor.

Empty chairs at empty tables

           G#                  C#m
Where my friends will meet no more.

    Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me

                         E
What your sacrifice was for

Empty chairs at empty tables

           G#                 C#m       C#m7       C#m6       C#m
Where my friends will sing no more.
