Don McLean - Empty Chairs: chords

G                                 Am
I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night
C                 D                G
Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright
G                                     Am
Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane
C           D                 G
Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame

Chorus:
G                    Am D
And I wonder if you know
                    G
That I never understood
Em                           Am
That although you said you'd go
   C             D                 G   Am D
Until you did I never thought you would

Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face
While chestnut hair fell all around the pillowcase
And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my
head
A sympathy bouquet left with a love that's dead

Chorus

Never thought the words you said were true
Never thought you said just what you meant
Never knew how much I needed you
Never thought you'd leave, until you went

Morning comes and morning goes with no regret
And evening brings the memories I can't forget
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs
And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty
chairs
