I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab for Cutie - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Death Cab for Cutie Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 5

            So I wrote this out when I was like 17 and hadn't looked at in years until I logged in, 
cheers for the snarky comments; I have taken them into consideration and fixed the chord 
progression at the end. Sounds fairly legit if you can get the picking pattern down right.
(Also to the smart dude who made a comment about a bunch of the lyrics missing - props
to you if you can pick out which ones they are, because I can't find them, sir.)

Capo 5th fret, standard tuning


[Intro]
Am  C  F  C  C/B
Am  C  G
Am  C  E  Am G  F  Fm  C

[Verse 1]
 C                     Am
Love of mine, someday you will die,
                 F
But I will be close behind,
             C            G
I'll follow you into the dark.

     C                            Am
No blinding light, or tunnels to gates of white,
                  F
Just our hands clasped so tight,
         C                  G
Waiting for the hint of a spark.

[Chorus]
    Am                C              F           C         C/B
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
  Am            C            G
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs,
    Am               C                  E     Am    G
if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks,
F              Fm               C
I will follow you into the dark.

[Verse 2]
C                               Am
Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule,
           F                    C         G
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black.
   C                     Am                          F
I held my tongue, as she told me "Son, fear is the heart of love"
      C          G
So I never went back.

[Chorus]
    Am                C              F           C         C/B
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
  Am            C            G
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs,
    Am               C                  E     Am    G
if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks,
F              Fm               C
I will follow you into the dark.

[Verse 3]
C                         Am
You and me have seen everything to see,
                  F
From Bangkok to Calgary,
          C              G
And the soles of your shoes,

     C                           Am
Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now,
                     F
But it's nothing to cry about,
              C               G            Am         F
'Cause we'll hold each other soon in the blackest of rooms.

[Chorus]
    Am                C              F           C         C/B
If heaven and hell decide that they both are satisfied,
  Am            C            G
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs,
    Am               C                  E     Am    G
if there's no one beside you when your soul embarks,
F                Fm            C
Then I'll follow you into the dark.
F           Fm               C
I'll follow you into the dark...
