When The Crowds Are Gone Acoustic chords by Savatage

Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]

 C minorCm
   I don't know where the years have gone
                FF
   Memories can only last so long
                C minorCm
   Like faded photographs, forgotten songs
G minorGm C minorCm
   And the things I never knew
                      FF
   When the skin is thin, the heart shows through
                C minorCm
   Please believe me what I tell you is true

  [Chorus]

   Bb majorBb              A minorAm
   Where's the lights, turn 'em on again
   G minorGm           FF
   One more night to believe and then
   Eb MajorEb
   Another note for my requiem
   D MajorD
   A augmentedA memory to carry on
   D MajorD     C minorCm  D MajorD           G minorGm     Eb MajorEb
   The story's over when the crowds have gone
  FF       Eb MajorEb  DmDm  C minorCm  D MajorD
   Ooooh


  [Verse 2]

   C minorCm
   All my friends have been crucified
              FF     Eb MajorEb
   Made life a long suicide true
         D MajorD     C minorCm
   Guess we never figured out the rules

   But I'm still alive, my fingers feel
                   FF
   Gonna play on till the final reel's through
 Eb MajorEb        DmDm       C minorCm
   And read the credits from a different view


   [Chorus]

   Bb majorBb              A minorAm
   Where's the lights, turn 'em on again
   G minorGm           FF
   One more night to believe and then
   Eb MajorEb
   Another note for my requiem
   D MajorD
   A augmentedA memory to carry on
   D MajorD     C minorCm  D MajorD           G minorGm     Eb MajorEb
   The story's over when the crowds have gone

  [SOLO]
   D MajorD  A minorAm  D MajorD  A minorAm


  [Bridge]


 Bb majorBb            A minorAm
   When the crowds are gone
 G minorGm         FF
   And I'm all alone
 Eb MajorEb
   Playing the saddest song
 FF
   Now that the lights are gone
 Bb majorBb           A minorAm
   Turn them on again
 G minorGm              FF
   One more time for me my friend
 Eb MajorEb            FF
   Turn 'em on again


 Bb majorBb
   I never wanted to know
             A minorAm
   Never wanted to see
     G minorGm
   I wasted my time
            FF
   Till time wasted me
     Eb MajorEb
   Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
        FF
  'Cause the persons I am, are the parts that I play
     Bb majorBb
   So I plot and I plan
            A minorAm
   Hope and I scheme
      G minorGm
   To the lure of a night
                  FF
   Filled with unfinished dreams
    Eb MajorEb
   I'm holding on tight, to a world gone astray
       FF
   As they charge me for years
           Bb majorBb   G minorGm
   I can no longer pay
       FF        Eb MajorEb  FF
   When the crowds are gone


   Bb majorBb
   Turn 'em on again
       A minorAm
   Turn 'em on again
  G minorGm
   Turn 'em on again
       FF
   Turn 'em on again
 Eb MajorEb
   Turn 'em on again
          FF
   Turn 'em on again


 Bb majorBb
   I never wanted to know
             A minorAm
   Never wanted to see
     G minorGm
   I wasted my time
            FF
   Till time wasted me
     Eb MajorEb
   Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay
        FF               Bb majorBb
  'Cause the person I am, are the parts I play
 A minorAm  G minorGm
   I plaaaay
 FF  Eb MajorEb
   I plaaaay
   FF
   Aaah


 Bb majorBb
   And the lights

   Turn then off my friend
 FF
   And the ghosts

   Well just let them in
 Eb MajorEb
   Cause in the dark
FF
   It's easier...
    Bb majorBb    G minorGm   Eb MajorEb   FF   Bb majorBb
