I Will Follow You Into The Dark chords by Death Cab For Cutie

copy already and thought I would do those looking for the chords when it's released a
service. It's a great, sparse little folk song that emphasizes the bottom half of the
chords and strums mostly on the upbeats. The way this is done is by picking the bottom
two notes of the chord on the downbeats of the verses.

For example, with the F chord, it's played something like this, but the upper half of
the chord is strummed more than once in the rise and fall of the strumming hand:

e   1      1
B   1      1
G   2      2
D 3      3
A     3      3
E

The chorus is pretty much exactly like the introduction.

               Bbm
Because we'll hold each other soon, in the blackest of rooms

Continue strumming the Bb minor an extra measure before the last chorus.
