I Will Follow You Into The Dark
Death Cab for Cutie
    E                     A       G 
My girl, my girl, don' t lie to me
         B                         E 
Tell me where did you sleep last night
        E 
In the pines, in the pines
           A               G 
Where the sun don' t ever shine
         B                       E 
I would shiver the whole night through

    E                     A         G 
My girl, my girl, where will you go
     B                          E 
I' m going where the cold wind blows
        E 
In the pines, in the pines
           A               G 
Where the sun don' t ever shine
         B                       E 
I would shiver the whole night through

     E                    A        G 
Her husband, was a hard working man
       B                 E 
Just about a mile from here
     E                    A        G 
His head was found in a driving wheel
         B               E 
But his body never was found

    E                     A       G 
My girl, my girl, don' t lie to me
         B                         E 
Tell me where did you sleep last night
        E 
In the pines, in the pines
           A               G 
Where the sun don' t ever shine
         B                       E 
I would shiver the whole night through

    E                     A         G 
My girl, my girl, where will you go
     B                          E 
I' m going where the cold wind blows
        E 
In the pines, in the pines
           A               G 
Where the sun don' t ever shine
         B                       E 
I would shiver the whole night through

    E                     A       G 
My girl, my girl, don' t lie to me
         B                         E 
Tell me where did you sleep last night
        E 
In the pines, in the pines
           A               G 
Where the sun don' t ever shine
         B                       E 
I would shiver the whole night through
    E                     A         G 
My girl, my girl, where will you go
     B                          E 
I' m going where the cold wind blows
        E 
In the pines, the pines
     A         G 
The sun, the shine
      B                       E 
I' ll shiver the whole night through
