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

Chords with lyrics

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 FF 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
BB  1   1
G+G  2   2
D MajorD 3   3
A augmentedA   3   3
E MajorE

The chorus is pretty much exactly like the introduction.

Standard Tuning

Intro:
C majorC
C (Barchord)

FF (F-C Root note going)
Love of mine,

Someday you will die

      C majorC
I will follow, you into the dark

FF (F-C Root note going)
No blinding light
            DmDm (D-A Root note going)
Or tunnels to gates of white
              Bb majorBb
Just our hands clasped so tight
     C majorC
Waiting for, the hint of a spark

Chorus:
  C majorC
If heaven and hell decide, that they both are satisfied

Verse Two:
FF (F-C root note going)
Catholic school
           A augmentedA root note)
As vicious as roman rule

I got my knuckles bruised

By a lady in black

And I held my tongue as she told me, "son, fear is the heart of love."
    C majorC
So I never went back

You and me, have seen everything to see
         Bb majorBb
From Bangkok to Calgary
     C majorC (barchord)
And the soles of your shoes

Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now
           Bb majorBb
But it's nothing to cry about
        BbmBbm
Because we'll hold each other soon, in the blackest of rooms

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

Then I will follow you into the dark

Repeat last line, ending on F.
