[Verse 1]
A D A
When the thunder claps around the fields
A D E
When the cannons sound through the air
A D A
When the lightning claps across the sky
A E A
For this I love I'll still be there
A D A
When the rain falls down to the bottom of the valley
A D E
When the buildings fall without a care
A D A
When the sky grows dark at night or day
A E A
For this I love I'll still be there
[Chorus]
D A D A
Darkness Came, fierce and wild
D A E
Held me like a child
D A E A
This could be the last night before I go to war
D E A
This could be my last night with you
[Verse 2]
A D A
When we all know not to think about tomorrow
A D E
As overhead bullets fly
A D A
When the battlements are crumbling down
A E A
For this I love I'll still be there
A D A
When the dust's so thick you could sew a button on it
A D E
When my senses fail in this heavy air
A D A
If I'm scared or tired it doesn't really matter
A E A
For this I love I'll still be there
[Chorus]
D A D A
Darkness Came, fierce and wild
D A E
Held me like a child
D A E A
This could be the last night before I go to war
D E A
This could be my last night with you
A D A
When the darkness comes from the cold end of some steel
A D E
I'll think of you and your face so fair
A D A
And if the end comes and the angels come to greet me
A E A
I'll think of you, I'll still be there
A E A
A soldiers life, I'll still be there
A E A
For this I love, I'll still be there
