The Empty Dancehall chords by All About Eve

• Capo on 1st
• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:
A
Ribbons from your dancing shoes
A
In shreds and threads and feeling used
C#m
Are hanging up our yesterdays
A
Down the street, the empty dance halls
A
Due to empty circumstance
C#m
All seem to be closed down today
F#
And through the silence

Chorus:
Bm
I hear the word for love
G
I hear the word for death
A                     F#
But I don't hear any answer
Bm
While death can talk of 'la mort'
G                       A
And love can whisper 'l'amour'
N.C.           F#
The floor has lost its dancers

Verse 2:
A
Take your partner by the hand
A
And dance the ghost of a sarabande
C#m
Moving like a miracle
A
Shoe to shoe and cheek to cheek
A
Every day of every week
C#m
Step by step by century
F#
Through the silence

Chorus:
Bm
I hear the word for love
G
I hear the word for death
A                     F#
But I don't hear any answer
Bm
While death can talk of 'la mort'
G                       A
And love can whisper 'l'amour'
N.C.           F#
The floor has lost its dancers
