Tabs

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Intermediate

Song:I Will Follow You Into The Dark
Band:Death Cab For Cutie
Album:Plans

To make it less confusing I have tabs for each chord for the verse and the chorus. When
you see the chord you play the tab. This is the way Ben Gibbard played the song on the
album. Finger pluck the song for best sound but use your nail on the muted notes.

Capo 5th Fret

x=Mute
1s= One Strum

C/GC/G                  Am\E
Love of mine some day you will die
         FF
But I'll be close behind
         C majorC          G+G
I'll follow you into the dark
C\G                        Am\E
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
              FF
Just our hands clasped so tight
        C majorC             G+G
Waiting for the hint of a spark

Chorus 1:
A minorAm              C majorC
If Heaven and Hell decide
         FF            C majorC   C\B
That they both are satisfied
A minorAm          C majorC           G+G
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
  A minorAm             C majorC
If there's no one beside you
           E MajorE          A minorAm   Am\G
When your soul embarks

Then I'll follow you into the dark

Verse 2:
  C\G                   Am\E
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
        FF
I got my knuckles bruised
     C majorC          G+G
by a lady in black
C\G                       Am\E
And I held my tongue as she told me "Son
          FF
fear is the heart of love"
    C majorC             G+G
So I never went back

Chorus 2:
A minorAm              C majorC
If Heaven and Hell decide

That they both are satisfied
A minorAm          C majorC           G+G
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
  A minorAm             C majorC
If there's no one beside you
           E MajorE          A minorAm   Am\G
When your soul embarks
     FF        F minorFm            C/GC/G
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Verse 3:
C\G                      Am\E
You and me have seen everything to see
                F1
From Bangkok to Calgary
        C majorC               G+G
And the soles of your shoes
    C\G                     Am\E
Are all worn down the time for sleep is now
              F1
It's nothing to cry about
           C majorC                 G+G
'cause we'll hold each other soon
                 F2        F3
In the blackest of rooms

Chorus 3:
A minorAm              C majorC
If Heaven and Hell decide
         FF            C majorC   C\B
That they both are satisfied
A minorAm          C majorC           G+G
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
  A minorAm             C majorC
If there's no one beside you
           E MajorE          A minorAm   Am\G
When your soul embarks
     FF        F minorFm            C/GC/G
Then I'll follow you into the dark
