Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds – The Boatmans Call chords

Here's another chord compilations of one of the most depressing albums I've ever heard. 
a pretty spare, acoustic/piano album so I figured it'd be cool to collect the chords to 
in one place. Here it goes!

All transcription credit goes to Alon Drori, Boaz, Moho, Leo McPartland, Peter 
and ondrej.

  Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candles burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms, O Lord
    Into my arms
