 h = hammer on
 p = pull off
 / = slide
 X = mute

 *the chord used isn't really this chord, but it?s the closest I could find. If anyone knows a better name, pray tell?

 In my original version, I hit all the strings muted, to make that "chk" sound, 
 on beats 2 and 4 for pretty much the entire song. However, if you feel that's 
 not the tone you're going for, feel free to take them out. 
 (That also goes for the rhythm in general, because you may think mine is 
 just a bunch of foolery.)

About this song: I Will Follow You Into The Dark

"I Will Follow You Into the Dark" is the third single from Death Cab for Cutie's album Plans. It's an acoustic ballad performed solo, by frontman Ben Gibbard. It was recorded with a single microphone, and there is no overdubbing in the song. It was released as a single in the UK as a two-part 7" single (one on green vinyl, the other on "mustard" colored vinyl) and as a CD single. The I Follow You Into The Dark Songfacts states that Gibbard told VH1's Storytellers that Gibbard penned the song in a burst of creativity in 15 miniutes at a Seattle studio, which he kept solely for songwriting.
