You needn't play all the bass notes through the riffs. The F riff is particulary strange (if I even got it right).

[Intro] C riff 1 | C riff 2 | F riff | C riff 2 || x2 [Verse 1]
C        F            G           C
 When I arrived in my own set of clothes,

C            F           G
I was half a world away from my home.

         F                              G               C
And I was hunted by the wolves and I was heckled by the crows.

C               F             G            C   C riff 2
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
[Verse 2]
C             F            G            C
 Alongside my innocence, I laid in bed awake.

C                 F                 G
Conflicted in these chains with the impetus of age.

           F                              G                C
But, like a phantom, she crept across the floor and out the window.

C               F             G            C   C riff 2
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
[Verse 3]
         C            F         G               C
From its place on the mantle my heart was taken down

C               F               G
scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground

F                                      G             C
 And out below the street lamp like an orphan with a halo

C               F             G            C
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know
[Bridge 1]
                  F  G   C                F  G  C
'Cause it won't last - the worries will pass.

Am                            G       C
All your troubles they don't stand a chance.

      F                             G           C
And sometimes it takes more than a lifetime to know.

C               F             G            C
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.

                   F            G               C
Your confidence is full as your faith etched in stone.

C                F            G
And neither could comfort you from the wild unknown.

F                                   G              C
So, bury your burning hatred like a hatchet in the snow.

C               F             G            C   C riff 2
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know.
[Verse 5]
C             F            G             C
If you have a broken heart or a battered soul,

C                  F       G
Find something to hold on to or to let go

F                                          G                 C
To help you through the hard nights like a flask filled with hope.

C               F             G            C
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.

'Cause it won't last - your worries will pass.

Am                            Em      Am
All your troubles they don't stand a chance.

       F                                    G                C
And it always hurts the worst when it's the ones we love the most.

C               F             G            C
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.

         F             G             C
Sometimes your path is marked in the sky.

C                 F           G
Sometimes you're forced to fit in between the lines.

F                          G         C
Sometimes all that you can do is say no.

C               F             G            C
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
[Verse 7 - repeat of Verse 1]
        C        F            G           C

Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.

We said, Darlin' do not feaaar...
