simply as a compromise between the two strummed and picked patterns.

F Dm
Love of mine, someday you will die
Bb
But I'll be close behind
F C CaddG
I'll follow you into the dark
F Dm
No blinding light, or tunnels to gates of white
Bb
Just our hands clasped so tight
F C CaddG
Waiting for the hint of a spark
Dm F
If heaven and hell de cide
Bb F C/E
That they both are satis fied
Dm F C CaddG
Illuminate the nos on their va cancy signs
Dm F A Dm Dm/C
If there's no one be side you when your soul em barks
Bb Bbm F
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Dm
In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule
Bb
I got my knuckles bruised
F C CaddG
By a lady in black
F Dm
And I held my tongue, as she told me "Son,
Bb
Fear is the heart of love."
F C CaddG
So I never went back
Dm F
If heaven and hell de cide
Bb F C/E
That they both are satis fied
Dm F C CaddG
Illuminate the nos on their va cancy signs
Dm F A Dm Dm/C
If there's no one be side you when your soul em barks
Bb Bbm F
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Dm
You and me we've seen every thing to see
Bb
From Bangkok to Calgary
F C CaddG
And the soles of our shoes
F Dm
Are all worn down, the time for sleep is now
Bb
It's nothing to cry about
F C CaddG
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
Dm Bb
In the blackest of rooms
Dm F
If heaven and hell de cide
Bb F C/E
That they both are satis fied
Dm F C CaddG
Illuminate the nos on their va cancy signs
Dm F A Dm Dm/C
If there's no one be side you when your soul em barks
Bb Bbm F CDm
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Bb Bbm F
And I'll follow you into the dark
