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

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