Chords with lyrics
Here's how I play Demon Hunter's "I Will Fail You" acoustically. Play in E minorEm and capo on the 2nd fret
The D MajorD chord is played in C majorC formation (X54035)
Intro (you can single pick up and down each chord, or just strum them, whatever feels better for you)
E minorEm G/BG/B C majorC G+G
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC A minorAm
E minorEm
These quiet words, they carry me away
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Returning, they keep coming back
E minorEm
In idle thoughts and hollow cut-aways
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Disarm me, no will to attack
E minorEm BB E minorEm D MajorD C majorC A minorAm
Though the sorrow and fear they may depart you today
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I will fail you, of that I'm sure
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
C majorC D MajorD G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I will fail you to the core
E minorEm
Lost in the shadow of an endless grace,
D MajorD C majorC G+G
relentless My reign is unbound
E minorEm
In this abandon I will devastate,
D MajorD C majorC G+G
dismember Till agony's found
E minorEm BB E minorEm D MajorD C majorC A minorAm
Though the sorrow and fear they may depart you today
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I will fail you, of that I'm sure
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
C majorC D MajorD G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I will fail you to the core
E minorEm C majorC
I know they prey upon me, I feel them just beyond my door
(There is an interlude with a guitar solo, but I typically do the breakdown lyric twice,
then the intro and back into the down chorus)
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I will fail you, of that I'm sure
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
(Full energy again here)
C majorC D MajorD G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I will fail you to the core
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I will fail you, of that I'm sure
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
C majorC D MajorD G+G D/F#D/F# E minorEm
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored
D MajorD C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
