F*Love of mine
Someday Dm*you will die

No F*blinding light
Or tunnels to Dm*gates of white
Just our hands Bbclasped so tight
Waiting fFor, the hint of a spCark
[Chorus]
If Dmheaven and hell decFide, that they bBboth are satisfFied C
Dm F C (bar chord)
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
If Dmthere's no one besideF you, when your Asoul embDmarks C
Then BbI'll follow yBbmou into the daF*rk
[Verse 2]
In F*Catholic school
As vicious as Dm*Roman rule
I got my Bbknuckles bruised
By a lFady in blCack
And I F*held my tongue as she Dmtold me, "son, fear is the Bbheart of love."
So I nFever went bCack
[Chorus]
If Dmheaven and hell decFide, that they bBboth are satisfFied C
Dm F C (bar chord)
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
If Dmthere's no one besideF you, when your Asoul embDmarks C
Then BbI'll follow yBbmou into the daF*rk
[Verse 3]
FYou and me, have seen everyDmthing to see
From Bangkok to BbCalgary
F C (bar chord)
And the soles of your shoes
Are Fall worn down, the time for Dmsleep is now
But it's nothing to Bbcry about
Because we'll hFold each other sCoon, in the Dmblackest of Bbmrooms
[Chorus]
If Dmheaven and hell decFide, that they bBboth are satisfFied C
Dm F C (bar chord)
Illuminate the "no's", on their vacancy signs
If Dmthere's no one besideF you, when your Asoul embDmarks C
Bb Bbm F ** Dm
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then BbI'll follow yBbmou into the dark F
*************************************************************************************
This is 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 x x
The chorus is pretty much exactly like the intro.
