**Chords:**
C  G  Am  F  
C  G  Am  F  
C  G  Am  F  
C  G  Am  F  

C                   G  
There's a grief that can't be spoken  
   Am                F  
There's a pain goes on and on  
C                  G  
Empty chairs at empty tables  
   Am                F  
Now my friends are dead and gone  

C                  G  
Here they talked of revolution  
   Am                F  
Here it was they lit the flame  
C                   G  
Here they sang about tomorrow  
   Am                F  
And tomorrow never came  

C                   G  
From the table in the corner  
   Am               F  
They could see a world reborn  
C                  G  
And they rose with voices ringing  
   Am                F  
And I can hear them now  

C                   G  
The very words that they had sung  
   Am                F  
Became their last communion  
C                   G  
On the lonely barricades at dawn  
   Am                F  
Oh, my friends, my friends, don't ask me  
   C                 G  
What your sacrifice was for
