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

[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
      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

[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
      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
