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.

I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night
CD7G
Creep through my fingers and the moon is bright
GGmaj7G6Asus2Am
Beams of blue come flickering through my window pane
CD7G
Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame
GAsus2Am
And I wonder if you know
Cadd9D7G
That I never understood
EmAm7
That although you said you'd go
CD7GGmajAsus4
Until you did I never thought you would
GAsus2Am
Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face
CD7G
While chestnut hair fell all around the pillow case
GGmaj7G6AmAsuAm
And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head
CD7G
A sympathy bouquet left with the love that's dead
GAsus2Am
And I wonder if you know
Cadd9D7G
That I never understood
EmAm7
That although you said you'd go
CD7GG6aj7
Until you did I never thought you would

Never thought the words you said were true
D6GD6CAm7AC
Never thought you said just what you meant
Dsus2DGAm7j7
Never knew how much I needed you
DCD6AmD6
Never thought you'd leave, until you went
GAsus2Am
Morning comes and morning goes with no regret
CD7G
And evening brings the memories I can't forget
GGmaj7G6AmAsus2
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs
CD7G
And empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs
GAsus2Am
And I wonder if you know
Cadd9D7G
That I never understood
EmAm7
That although you said you'd go
CD7GGmaj7G6
Until you did I never thought you would
