Chords: F, C, Am, Em, G

Genre: indie, folk, alt-country


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

[Verse]
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
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
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
