Empty Chair

Tom : C
| C | A | Dm7 | Dm7

[Verse 1]
C
We commandeer a corner table
Am
At our small-town diner
Dm7
Just five or six old men
Dm7
Throwin' out corny ol' one-liners
C
They pat the heads of children
Am
Give friendly nods to strangers
Dm7
They sure seem quick to laugh
D
Makes you think they're slow to anger

[Chorus]
F
Those guys were front-line brothers
F
Their lives depended on each other
Am G C
They were soldiers long before they were men
F
Yeah, the ones that somehow survived
F
Came home, went on to build their lives
Am
Never chargin' us a penny

[Próxima Parte]
[Refrão]
G C
For the debt we owe to them
Em
But you can almost smell the gun smoke
F
And the foxholes that they shared
Em
On the days they raise their coffees
F
And toast the empty chair

[Solo]
| C | Am7 | Dm7 | Dm7

[Verse 2]
C
They'll ask you where you're from
Am7
What you do, what you've done
Dm7
But don't go thinkin' they're all talk
Dm7
'Cause you wouldn't wanna piss them off

[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Solo]
| C | Am7 | Dm7 | Dm7

[Bridge]
G C F
They'll tell you anything you wanna know
G C F
But there's one place they just won't go
Am7 G F
'Cause they don't wanna ruin our dreams
C Dm7
By tellin' us the things they've seen

[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Outro]
Dm7
To the brother who ain't there
Dm7
We salute you
