[Chorus]
E
The darkness comes
And I still wait
E
The secret is
You cannot leave
A
Under my feet
The threat of lightning’s power is escaping from my sight
A
I’m kind of lost
Everything’s upside down and I’m lighter than I thought

F#m Bsus2 E C#m Ab
You’ll hear the silence from ahead
F#m Bsus2
All you’ve been or done or said
E C#m Ab
Doesn’t matter
F#m Bsus2 E C#m Ab
What’s yours anyway? Please enjoy your stay
F#m Bsus2
Stick to whatever you might play

How to play The Darkness Comes: key, chords and progression

To play The Darkness Comes by Forest Pooky, think in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). It takes 17 chords: E, A, F#m, Bsus2, C#m, Ab, E5, E7, B11, Asus2, A9 and A6 and 5 more.

Most of the song cycles through F#m – Bsus2 – E – C#m (ii – Vsus2 – I – vi in E major). In solfa, that is reh – soh – doh – lah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: on guitar, F#m, Bsus2, C#m, Ab and B11 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
