There's a grief that can't be  spoken, there's a pain goes on and  on

Empty chairs at empty  tables, now my friends are dead and gone
<-7  <-7    8    <-7 <7 <-6 <-6 -6 <-7 <-7  8  <-7  <7  <-6 -6 <7
Here they talked of   revolution,  here it was they lit the flame
 <7   <7  <-7  <7 <-6 -6 -6 <-5 -6  <-6 -6 -6 5 <4 <-3
Here they sang about  tomorrow, and tomorrow never came
 <5  <5  <5 <5 <-5 <4 <4 <-3   <5   <-5   6 <-6 <7   <-6 <-6 <-5
From the table in the corner, they could see a world   reborn

And they rose with voices ringing, and I can hear them now
-9 <-9 <10 <-10 <10  <-9  <-7 <-6  <-10 <11 <-10  <10  <-9 <-7 <-6
The very  words that they had sung  became  their last  communion
<9 <9  <-9 <9 -8 <-7 <-7 <7 <-7 
On the lonely barricade  at dawn
<-7 <-7   8     <-7  <7     <-6 <-6 -6 <-7 <-7 8   <-7 <7  <-6 -6 <7
Oh  my friends, my friends, forgive me that I live and you are gone
  <7    <7 <-7   <7   <-6  -6 -6 <-5    -6   <-6 -6   -6  5   5  -6 
There's a grief that can't be spoken, there's a pain goes on and on
 -9 -9  10 -9 8  <-7 <-7 -7   -9 -9   10 -9  8  <-7 -7 8
Phantom faces at the window, phantom shadows on the floor
 9 9    -9   8  <-7 -7 -7 7   -7   <-7  -7     -7   6   -6  -7
Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will meet no more
-9 -9   10     -9   -10     10   10  -7  -9   -9  10 -9 8   <-7 -7 8
Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me what your sacrifice was for
 9 9    -9   8  <-7 -7 -7 7   -7   <-7  -7     -7   6   -6  -5
Empty chairs at empty tables where my friends will sing no more
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
