If I'm To Die chords by Keaton Henson

If I'm To Die
Keaton Henson


So this is definitely not what Keaton is playing in the live/acoustic video currently on youtube,
but it sounds close enough to me, and I noticed there weren't any chords available anywhere so I thought I'd
upload these (I made for myself) in case someone finds them useful.

I usually play by strumming or picking the top 4 strings up then down. Which, again is a lot simpler than what
Keaton is playing but sounds close enough.

[Intro]
F A Dm Bb
F C

F                       A
If I'm to die before I reach you
Dm                      C               Bb
Please know I'm meant to love you till I did
F                       A
If I'm to slip beneath a train meant to take me
Dm                      C               Bb
Know that I believe that it was worth it
F

Tell my friends goodbye
        A
Tell my almost ex-wife
Dm                    C         Bb
That I loved her and left her too soon

C

Dm              C               Bb
Oh I hope to be holding you soon

Who knows what happens if I leave my room

If i'm to die before I hold you

Know my arms were the worst off for it

If i'm set upon dragged

From my room as I write

You won't be my last

If i'm to die before you

F                               A
And if i'm to die before we spend a soft day
Dm                      C            Bb
Know my final thoughts will be of regret
F                               A
If i'm to drown in the deep sea that parts us
Dm                      C               Bb
I once lived and loved, don't forget
C
F
Give my paintings to Alice
A
Tell all my good friends

That I didn?t dare earn their respect

C
[Chorus]
Dm              C               Bb
Oh I hope to be seeing you soon
F                               C
I don't know what happens if I leave my room
Dm                      C               Bb
Oh I'm scared that you'll know what to do
A                                       Dm      C       Bb
If I'm to die before you, if I'm to die before you
