Darkness Descends


One of her best songs, and there's no tab for it! Thought I had to figure out the chords at least. This isn't the way she plays it, but it works. Chords used: G: 334553 D7 2nd invertion: 575755 Bm7 with b9 variation: 877797 A7Sus4 2nd inversion: 030200 Asus2 2nd inversion: 002200 No idea of the name: 000200 (let's call it Em-) A7 2nd inversion: 020200 Em: 000220 D: 232000 She picks the chords at the beginnig and then strums softly. You can figure out the picking, it isn't that difficult, you just have to listen Laura Marling - Darkness Descends G Bm7 D7 G You're holding bits of Styrofoam with your face painted on to your friends You listen to them whine and moan about everything you can't understand Asus4 Asus2 Em- Asus2 Can I just say I don't fear the light? But darkness descends once more into my life G Bm7 D7 G And suddenly we're all alone in silence so I take a step away I look up to the falling snow as it makes its home upon my face Asus4 Asus2 Em- Asus2 Well I wouldn't want to ruin something I couldn't save The gap will keep us safe, the gap will keep us safe G Asus2 G Asus2 Step away, get me when I'm down Em A7 Em Aaaaaaaaah G Bm7 D7 G And suddenly I'm 5 years old and I'm just so cold I want to cry I haul up on my gentlemen who have always been there in hard times Asus4 Asus2 Em- Asus2 They're just not like that man of mine Who visits me from time to time G Asus2 G Asus2 My love, I treasure you Em A7 Em Aaaaaaaaah G Bm7 D7 G I hear that summer's coming back so I stretch out my back and travel on The winter though it darkens me it is pure and clean and all I want Asus4 Asus2 Em- Asus2 I'll apologise to the ones I love For leaving them when the sun comes up G Asus2 G Asus2 Too bright for me, darkens descends Em A7 Em Aaaaaaaaah Em A7 Em A7 Oh well, I'm not well again and once more darkness it descends The ground is falling under me and I can't find the means to leave G Bm7 D7 G Convinced that I am going mad oh I bury my head into his hands So sure that I am losing faith oh I clear a space in his father's land Asus4 Asus2 Em- Asus2 You deal with God far too young, D Before you know it your life has run away This happens to be my very first tab, but I don't need your pity, so feel free to tell me that it is completely wrong and that I suck! cheers, Marlene
