Chords

[Intro] Em C G C Em C G C Em C G [Repeat as desired] [Verse 1]
Em      C             G
There's gonna be roses

                          C
And your picture in a frame

G                 D
The women will be crying

        C              D            G
And the men, they will whisper your name

Em       C        G
Umbrellas will be open

                        C
On a hill side of graves

G                    D
The children will be dressed up

        C        D          G
And chase each other in the rain
[Chorus]
            G
And there's gonna be a darkness

      D/F#
Maybe colder than you guess

      C
There may not be music, there may not be stairs

      D
There may not be angels filling the air

     G
Your mother may be there

     D/F#
Your father may be there

      C
There may not be voices

                      D
Sent from a throne to carry you home
[Instrumental] Em C G C [Verse 2]
Em     C          G
Oh heaven may not get you

                      C
The devil may see you first

G                 D         C
He's hidden himself in both

       D          G
The beast and the bird

Em       C          G
A stranger may have found you

                                    C
Where the angels have lulled you to sleep

G                D            C
They swallow you whole like a whale

          D            G
From your head to your feet
[Chorus]
            G
And there's gonna be a darkness

      D/F#
Maybe colder than you guess

There may not be music, there may not be stairs

      D
There may not be angels filling the air

     G
Your mother may be there

     D/F#

                      D
Sent from a throne to carry you home
[Solo] Em C G C G C [Bridge]
D                        Am
Well you think there's a place

              D
Wide open and wide

                          Am
Where you think you'll be safe

                          D
Where you think there's a light
[Chorus]
            G
And there's gonna be a darkness

Maybe colder than you guess
