Artist :: Death Cab For Cutie Song :: I Will Follow You Into The Dark Album :: Plans Tabbed :: Corey Gwin Email :: coreygwin@hotmail.com Info :: Death Cab, as we all know, rocks! I totally dig their new cd and while I didn't intially pick this song as my favorite, after paying attention to the lyrics, I fell in love with it. I saw another tab, but it's not as accurate or complete sounding. So I dinked w/ it a bit and my version sounds rather close. Close enough to play and sing along to! :) I didn't say much about the timing (it's interesting), but play along to the song and you'll get the jist of it. Have fun! _-= Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark =-_ Tuning :: Standard [eadgbe] Capo :: 5th Fret (Everything is relative to capo)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

follow you into the dark No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight Waiting for the hint of a spark [Chorus] If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark [Verse 2] In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black And I held my toungue as she told me "Son fear is the heart of love" So I never went back [Chorus] If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark [Verse 3] You and me have seen everything to see From Bangkok to Calgary And the soles of your shoes are all worn down The time for sleep is now It's nothing to cry about Cause we'll hold each other soon The blackest of rooms [Final Chorus] If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark Then I'll follow you into the dark Well, there ya have it! Let me know if there's any problems with. 2nd tab I've ever done but I think it's good to go! Enjoy! - Corey Gwin
