Les Miserables - Empty Chairs At Empty Tables

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 .

from the table in the corner

they could see a world reborn
G# G#7 D#
and they rose with voices ringing
A# A
i can hear them now!
Dm Dm7 A#
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 .
Dm
there’s a grief that can’t be spoken .

there’s a pain goes on and on .

phantom faces at the window .
E
phantom shadows on the floor .
F#m
empty chairs at empty tables

where my friends will meet no more .

what your sacrifice was for

empty chairs at empty tables

where my friends will sing no more .
