I Will Follow You Into the Dark Death Cab for Cutie
Song:I Will Follow You Into The Dark
Band:Death Cab For Cutie
Album:Plans
To make it less confusing I have tabs for each chord for the verse and the chorus. When
you see the chord you play the tab. This is the way Ben Gibbard played the song on the
album. Finger pluck the song for best sound but use your nail on the muted notes.

Love of mine some day you will die

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckle[F]s bruised
by a lady[C] in black[G]

fear is the heart o[F]f love"
So I nev[C]er went back[G]

From Bangkok to Calgary[F1]
And the soles of[C] your shoes[G]
C\G Am\E

It's nothing to cry about[F1]
'cause we'll hold eac[C]h other soon[G]
In the blackest of rooms[F2] [F3]
