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.

          C    C7      F
From the table in the corner
           Cm7     F7     Bb
They could see a world reborn
          G/B              C
And they rose with voices ringing
       Bb        A
I can hear them now!
          Dm         Dm7      Bb
The very words that they had sung
   Gm                G7
Became their last communion
F                     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.
           E               C#m
There's a pain goes on and on.

C#m 
    Phantom faces at the window.
                        E
Phantom shadows on the floor.
                       F#m
Empty chairs at empty tables
           Ab                  C#m
Where my friends will meet no more.

C#m
    Oh my friends, my friends, don't ask me
                         E
What your sacrifice was for
                      F#m
Empty chairs at empty tables
           Ab                 C#m 
Where my friends will sing no more.

Castle On A Cloud

D       Em             D      
On my own, pretending hes beside me,
     Bm        E               A        Am7
All alone, I walk with him till morning,
   G           F#7            Bm
Without him, I feel his arms around me,
    Em                                            A
And when I lose my way I close my eyes and he has found me.


        D        Em                   D    
In the rain, the pavement shines like silver,
         Bm         E            A     Am7
All the lights are misty in the river,
       G             F#7                Bm 
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight,
    Em                                   A
And all I see is him and me forever and forever.

      Bb        G#7        Bb   
And I know its only in my mind,
         Gm           Gm7          Eb
That Im talking to myself and not to him,
      Em                       B         B7
And although I know that he is blind,
        C             C7
Still I say there's a way for us.


  F             Gm                F    
I love him, but when the night is over,
      Dm        G              C        Cm7
He is gone, the rivers just a river,
  Bb            A7              Dm
Without him the world around me changes,
    Gm                                                    C
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers.

  F             Gm            F
I love him, but every day im learning,
        Dm       G           C
All my life Ive only been pretending,
  Bb           A7                 Dm
Without me his world will go on turning,
  Gm                                               C
A world thats full of happiness that I have never known.


F           F7          Bb
I love him, I love him, I love him,
    F#7        F
But only on my own.

On My Own

F                  Gm
Don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
F                 Bb
I don't feel any pain

A little fall of rain

Can hardly hurt me now

Db                                        Ab    Db 
   But you will live, 'Ponine, dear God above
                                            F
If I could heal your wounds with words of love


      Gm               F
Just hold me now, and let it be
        Bb          Gm    C7
Shelter me, comfort me


F     
You would live
  Gm
A hundred years
   F                Bb
If I could show you how
   F                Db
I won't desert you now


     Dm                 F
The rain can't hurt me now
      Bb        Gm               F
This rain will wash away what's past
                      Gm
And you will keep me safe
     F7               Bb
And you will keep me close
       F7            Gm       F
I'll sleep in your embrace at last

The rain that brings you here
           Abmaj7
Is Heaven blessed
Db
  The skies begin to clear
            F
And I'm at rest
    Gm               F
A breath away from where you are
      Bb               C
I've come home from so far

Gb                    Abm
So don't you fret, M'sieur Marius
   Gb             B
I don't feel any pain
   Gb             D
A little fall of rain

Can hardly hurt me now

I'm here

That's all I need to know

And you will keep me safe

And you will keep me close
     Gb
And rain
               B       Gb
Will make the flowers grow

   I dreamed a dream in times gone by
Bb                                    Gm7      C7               
   When hope was high and life worth living
F                  F/E             Dm7    F/C
   I dreamed that love would never die
Bbmaj7                            Gm7       C7
   I dreamed that God would be forgiving


F              F/E           Dm    F/C
   Then I was young and unafraid
Bb                                    Gm7      C7
   And dreams were made and used and wasted
F               F/E          Dm7    F/C
   There was no ransom to be paid
Bbmaj7                        Gm7     C7
   No song unsung, no wine untasted

   But the tigers come at night
D                             G
   With their voices soft as thunder
C           C/E            Fm      Ab
   As they tear your hope apart
C                                F      Gm    F    Gm    C
   And they turn your dream to shame


F             F/E          Dm7    F/C
   He slept a summer by my side
Bbmaj7                             Gm7       C
   He filled my days with endless wonder
F              F/E               Dm7         F/C
   He took my childhood in his stride

   But he was gone when autumn came


G              G/F#                Em     G/D
   And still I dream he'll come to me
C                               Am7       D7
   That we'll live the years together
G                 G/F#              Em7   G/D
   But there are dreams that cannot be

   So different from this hell I'm living

   So different now from what it seemed

I Dreamed A Dream

Les Miserables - The Original London Cast

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#

Chorus:

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

Overreacting

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
