Darkness Descends Laura Marling
One of her best songs, and there's no tab for it! Thought I had to figure out the chords
at least. This isn't the way she plays it, but it works.
Chords used:
G: 334553
D7 2nd invertion: 575755
Bm7 with b9 variation: 877797
A7Sus4 2nd inversion: 030200
Asus2 2nd inversion: 002200
No idea of the name: 000200 (let's call it Em-)
A7 2nd inversion: 020200
Em: 000220
D: 232000
She picks the chords at the beginnig and then strums softly. You can figure out the
picking, it isn't that difficult, you just have to listen
Laura Marling - Darkness Descends
[G]You're holding bits of [Bm7]Styrofoam with your [D7]face painted on to y[G]our friends
You listen to them whine and moan about everything you can't understand
[Asus4]Can I just [Asus2]say I don't [Em-]fear the [Asus2]light?
But darkness descends once more into my life
[G]And suddenly we're [Bm7]all alone in silence [D7]so I take a step a[G]way
I look up to the falling snow as it makes its home upon my face
[Asus4]Well I wouldn't want to[Asus2] ruin somethi[Em-]ng I couldn[Asus2]'t save
The gap will keep us safe, the gap will keep us safe
[G]Step [Asus2]away, [G]get me when I'm [Asus2]down
[Em]Aaa[A7]aaa[Em]aaah
[G]And suddenly I'm [Bm7]5 years old and I'm [D7]just so cold I want to [G]cry
I haul up on my gentlemen who have always been there in hard times
[Asus4]They're just not [Asus2]like that [Em-]man of [Asus2]mine
Who visits me from time to time
[G]My [Asus2]love, [G]I treasure [Asus2]you
[Em]Aaa[A7]aaa[Em]aaah
[G] [Bm7] [D7]
I [G]hear that summer's coming back so I stretch out my back and travel on
The winter though it darkens me it is pure and clean and all I want
[Asus4]I'll apolo[Asus2]gise to the [Em-]ones I [Asus2]love
For leaving them when the sun comes up
[G]Too bright f[Asus2]or me, [G]darkens des[Asus2]cends
[Em]Aaa[A7]aaa[Em]aaah
[Em]Oh well, I'm not [A7]well again and [Em]once more darkness it [A7]descends
The ground is falling under me and I can't find the means to leave
[G]Convinced that I am [Bm7]going mad oh I [D7]bury my head into his [G]hands
So sure that I am losing faith oh I clear a space in his father's land
[Asus4]You deal wit[Asus2]h God [Em-]far too [Asus2]young, D
Before you know it your life has run away
This happens to be my very first tab, but I don't need your pity, so feel free to tell
me that it is completely wrong and that I suck!
cheers,
Marlene
