Great song, great songwriter, just though Id post my version because it may be 
more like what he plays on the record.

Im not afraid of the dark weve been here before 
           G           D           A          
fallen on hard times honey, weve fallen on swords
        G       D           G           D
Sippin long shadows falls across your heart     
         G          D                 A            D
Ill be right here with you Im not afraid of the dark        

(Repeat verse chord pattern above for all verses)
        
Im not afraid of the dark when the sun goes down
and your dreams grow teeth and the beasts come out
and cast their long shadows every time they start
Ill be right here with you Im not afraid of the dark 

G
out on the hills there hounds a bear
D
out on the moore the foxes run
G
just stay alight until the light has faded 
       A
then pray for light that seems so long to come 

G   D   G   D   G   D  A  A    x 2


Im not afraid of the dark so if the stars get scared
and you reach for him and honey hes not there 
just a long shadow across your heart 
you can reach for me Im not afraid of the dark

Im not afraid of the dark when the sun goes down
and the dreams grow teeth and the beasts come out
and cast their long shadows every time they stalk
you can reach for me Im not afraid of the dark
