one of her best songs , and there’s no tab for it! thought i had to figure out the chords
at least . this isn’t the way she plays it , but it works .

chords used :
G : 334553
D7 2nd invertion : 575755
Bm7 with B9 variation : 877797
A7sus4 2nd inversion : 030200
Asus2 2nd inversion : 002200
no idea of the name : 000200 ( let’s call it Em – )
A7 2nd inversion : 020200
Em : 000220
D : 232000

she picks the chords at the beginnig and then strums softly . you can figure out the
picking , it isn’t that difficult , you just have to listen

laura marling – darkness descends

G Bm7 D7 G
you’re holding bits of styrofoam with your face painted on to your friends
you listen to them whine and moan about everything you can’t understand

Asus4 Asus2 Em – Asus2
can i just say i don’t fear the light?
but darkness descends once more into my life

G Bm7 D7 G
and suddenly we’re all alone in silence so i take a step away
i look up to the falling snow as it makes its home upon my face

Asus4 Asus2 Em – Asus2
well i wouldn’t want to ruin something i couldn’t save
the gap will keep us safe , the gap will keep us safe

G Asus2 G Asus2
step away , get me when i’m down

Em A7 Em
aaaaaaaaah

G Bm7 D7 G
and suddenly i’m 5 years old and i’m just so cold i want to cry
i haul up on my gentlemen who have always been there in hard times

Asus4 Asus2 Em – Asus2
they’re just not like that man of mine
who visits me from time to time

G Asus2 G Asus2
my love , i treasure you

Em A7 Em
aaaaaaaaah

G Bm7 D7
G
i hear that summer’s coming back so i stretch out my back and travel on
the winter though it darkens me it is pure and clean and all i want

Asus4 Asus2 Em – Asus2
i’ll apologise to the ones i love
for leaving them when the sun comes up

G Asus2 G Asus2
too bright for me , darkens descends

Em A7 Em
aaaaaaaaah

Em A7 Em A7
oh well , i’m not well again and once more darkness it descends
the ground is falling under me and i can’t find the means to leave

G Bm7 D7 G
convinced that i Am going mad oh i bury my head into his hands
so sure that i Am losing faith oh i clear a space in his father’s land

Asus4 Asus2 Em – Asus2
you deal with god far too young , D
before you know it your life has run away

this happens to be my very first tab , but i don’t need your pity , so feel free to tell
me that it is completely wrong and that i suck!
cheers ,
marlene
