This is mostly based on the tablature at http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/d/
don_mclean/empty_chairs_tab.htm - I'm extrapolating chords from the notes played
there, and simplifying a bit when it seems appropriate. You could probably get
away with simplifying more, though in the original the guitar is of course very
much picking out a full melody.
[G]I feel the trembling tingle of a [Asus2]sleepless night[Am]
[C]Creep through my [D7]fingers and the m[G]oon is bright
[G]Beams of [Gmaj7]blue c[G6]ome flickering through my[Asus2] window pane[Am]
[C]Like gypsy moths that [D7]dance around a [G]candle flame
And I [G]wonder [Asus2]if you[Am] know
That [Cadd9]I never [D7]under[G]stood
That [Em]although you [Am7]said you'd go
[C]Until you did I [D7]never thought you [G]wo[Gmaj7]uld [G6][Am7][Asus4]
[G]Moonlight used to bathe the contours[Asus2] of your face[Am]
[C]While chestnut hair fell [D7]all around the p[G]illow case
[G]And the f[Gmaj7]ragrance of your f[G6]lowers rest [Am]beneath my h[Asus2]ead[Am]
A [C]sympathy bou[D7]quet left with the l[G]ove that's dead
[G]And I wonder if you[Asus2] know[Am]
[Cadd9]That I [D7]never unders[G]tood
That al[Em]though you said you'd [Am7]go
[C]Until you did I [D7]never thought you [G]would[Gmaj7][G6]
[Asus4]Never thought the [Em]words you said were [G]true[Am7]
[D6]Never [G]thought you [D6]said just [C]what you [Am7]mean[Am]t[C]
[Dsus2]Never k[D]new how much I [G]needed you[Gmaj7][G6][Am7]
Never t[D]hought you'd [C]leave, un[D6]til you [Am]went [D6]
[G]Morning comes and morning goes with [Asus2]no regret[Am]
[C]And evening brings the [D7]memories I [G]can't forget
[G]Empty r[Gmaj7]ooms that [G6]echo as I [Am]climb the [Asus2]stairs
[C]And empty clothes that [D7]drape and fall on [G]empty chairs
[G]And I wonder if you[Asus2] know[Am]
[Cadd9]That I [D7]never unders[G]tood
That al[Em]though you said you'd[Am7] go
