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 Em And never go to sleep G My best unbeaten brother Em - F This isn't all I see
[Chorus]
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
