Death Cab for Cutie
"I Will Follow You into the Dark"
from Plans

capo 5th fret
F and Fm are barred throughout
I don't barre the G.
This maybe redundant but the /'s indicate bass notes.
There's a chord diagram at the bottom now.

Intro:

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

There are probably more detailed and accurate versions of this out there, but this
version sounds pretty close to the mark, and it's a hell of a lot easier than most
of the tabs I've seen. Actually, it's so easy that it's almost repetitive.

Ben does all this cool-sounding picking of random strings, but I would have no effing
idea how to type out how to do that. Just play around with it, have a bit of fun. If
you've got any corrections/death threats etc, my email is skatiethekatie@hotmail.com

Most of this tab is off the youtube video "How to Play I will Follow You Into the Dark"
mikesmai (Props to him) I mostly just organized it and added a few things. I use my
and my first two fingers to play this and the xxx's are a quick scrape down with your
and middle finger nails. If you need any more help definitly check out mikesmai's video. Enjoy!
