I See A Darkness Chords

   
These are the chords and lyrics should be close enough to correct with regard to 
Bill's re-released version of I See A Darkness as heard on the EP "Now Here's My 
Plan." You can hear it on youtube at: watch?v=d-xSxWX7_-4 


In that recording, it is played in the key of G#, I believe, but since I like to 
play things simply when I first learn them, here's the song in C. Enjoy!



-Intro-
F - C
F - C - C
Am                C                            F
Well, you're my friend, (that's what you told me)
                   C                           F
And can you see (what's inside of me)
Am
Many times we've been out drinking
                                       F                                
And many times we've shared our thoughts
Am                                                      F
But did you ever, ever notice, the kind of thoughts I got
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bonnie_prince_billy/i_see_a_darkness_crd.html ]
Em                      Am                     F
Well you know I have a love for everyone I know
Em                      Am                       F
And you know I have this drive to live I won't let go
Am                                                  F
But could you see its opposition comes arising up sometimes
Am                                                       F
That its dreadful imposition comes blacking in my mind

                   C
And then I see a darkness
                   F
And then I see a darkness
                   C
And then I see a darkness
                   F
And then I see a darkness
                                C
And did you know how much I love you
                            F
Is there a hope that somehow you, you
                        C
Can save me from this darkness

Am
Well I hope that someday buddy
                        C
We have peace in our lives
                F
Together or apart
                        C
Alone or with our wives
                        Am
And we can stop our whoring
                        F
And pull the smiles inside
                      C
And light it up forever
                Em
And never go to sleep
                        G
My best unbeaten brother
                Em - F
This isn't all I see

                   C
Oh no, I see a darkness
                   F
Oh no, I see a darkness
                   C
Oh no, I see a darkness
                   F
Oh no, I see a darkness
                                C
And did you know how much I love you
                            F
Is there a hope that somehow you, you
                        C
Can save me from this darkness
