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!

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll 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!
