I haven't figured out the correct picking pattern, so I use a quick
thumb - index - middle - index - ring - index - middle - index pattern and it sounds okay, but if you have a 
favourite picking pattern for this sort of song, by all means, use it. 
All chords are played for the same length, two beats, except for the Em to D in the chorus, 
those are only one beat each. The chord changes are written once for each verse and are the same on each 
subsequent line.

Followed you in darkness, into the feeling that, I thought I know

Sing to you a feeling, it's a strange truth, and so hard to show

Half past noon and days I, stumble starry gazed, I know it's no place for me to go.
