Darkness Descends chords by Laura Marling (Ver. 2)

A really easy tab - just strumming. A lovely song :)

Verse 1

G            D7          D            G

You're holding bits of styrofoam with your face painted on to your friends

G            D7          D            G

You listen to them whine and moan about everything you can't understand

G      D7    D      G

Can I just say I don't fear the light

G      D7    D      G

But darkness descends once more into my life

G         D7        D            G

And suddenly we're all alone in silence so I take a step away

G          D7            D         G

I look up to the falling snow as it makes it's home upon my face

G            D7    D        G

Well I wouldn't want to ruin something I couldn't save

G           D7     D        G

The gap will keep us safe, the gap will keep us safe

Bm    A  Bm        A

  Step away Get me when I'm dooooown


Em   A   Em    A            G

Ahhahh Ahhahh Ahhahh Ahhahh .........



Verse 2


G         D7           D          G

And suddenly I'm five years old and I'm just so cold I want to cry

G           D7        D          G

I haul up on my gentlemen, who have always been there in hard times

G          D7    D     G

But they're just not like that man of mine,

G    D7    D     G

who visits me from time to time

Bm  A  Bm       A

My love, I'll treasure youuu

Em   A   Em    A            G

Ahhahh Ahhahh Ahhahh Ahhahh .........


Verse 3

G           D7         D           G

I hear that summer's coming back oh I stretch out my back and travel on

G           D7         D          G

The winter thought it darkens me, it is pure and clean and all I want

G     D7      D    G

I'll apologize to the ones I love,

G     D7       D     G

for leaving them when the sun comes up

Bm    A      Bm      A

  Too bright for me, darkness descends

Em   A   Em    A

Ahhahh Ahhahh Ahhahh Ahhahh

Em        A       Em          A

Oh well I'm not well again and once more darkness it descends

Em           A     Em          A          G

The ground is falling under me and I can't find the means to leave


Verse 4

G           D7      D           G

Convinced that I am going mad oh I bury my head into his hands

G           D7       D           G

So sure that I am losing faith oh I clear a space in his father's land

G       D7  D     G

You deal with God far to young,

G       D7     D    G D7  G
