Em C Em follow you down to the red oak tree G Am Em as the air moves thick through the hollow reeds Am C Em will you wait for me there until someone comes Am D Em to carry me, carry me down See I have not, I have not grown cold I have stole from men who have stole from those With their arms so thin and their skin so old But you are young, you are young, you are young Bm C G then somebody laughs like it’s all just for hell Bm as though we could not be saved from C G the depth of the well Am C Em but the cloth that i make is a cloth you can sell C D to pay for the gossamer seed Names get carved in the red oak tree Of the ones who stay and the ones who leave I will wait for you there with these cindered bones So follow me, follow me down Follow me, follow me down Follow me, follow me down Follow me, follow me down You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  D  Em  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
