This song is from the upcoming release, "Plans" which is coming August 30th. I have a copy already and thought I would do those looking for the chords when it's released a service. It's a great, sparse little folk song that emphasizes the bottom half of the chords and strums mostly on the upbeats. The way this is done is by picking the bottom two notes of the chord on the downbeats of the verses. For example, with the F chord, it's played something like this, but the upper half of the chord is strummed more than once in the rise and fall of the strumming hand: e 1 1 B 1 1 G 2 2 D 3 3 A 3 3 E The chorus is pretty much exactly like the introduction. Standard Tuning Intro: Dm F Bb F C Dm F C (Barchord) Dm F A Dm C Bb Bbm (Into F with F-C note progression beginning) Verse One: F (F-C Root note going) Love of mine, Dm (D-A Root note going) Someday you will die Bb (strumming) But I will be close behind
I will follFow, you into the daCrk F (F-C Root note going) No blinding light Dm (D-A Root note going) Or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tBbight Waiting fFor, the hint of a spCark
Chorus:
If Dmheaven and hell decFide, that they bBboth are satisFfiCed Dm F C (bar chord) Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs DmIf there's no one beside yFou, when your sAoul embDmarkCs Bb Bbm F (Begin F-C root again) Then I will follow you into the dark
Verse Two: F (F-C root note going) Catholic school Dm (D-A root note) As vicious as roman rule
I got my knuBbckles bruised By a lFady in blCack
F (F-C root note) Dm Bb And I held my tongue as she told me, "son, fear is the heart of love."
So I neFver went bCack Chorus Two (Same): If Dmheaven and hell deFcide, that they bBboth are satiFsfCied Dm F C (bar chord) Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs DmIf there's no one beside yFou, when your sAoul embDmarkCs Bb Bbm F (Begin F-C root again) Then I will follow you into the dark
Verse Three:

Continue strumming the Bb minor an extra measure before the last chorus. Chorus Three
DmIf heaven and hell deFcide, that they bBboth are satisfFieCd Dm F C (bar chord) Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs DmIf there's no one beside yFou, when your sAoul embDmarkCs Bb Bbm F run down to Dm on D string Then I will follow you into the dark
