Mumford And Sons: The Cave
I wrote this tab primarily for ukulele as a response to my video:

However the chords also work well on guitar too! (the A#* can be played as just an A#)
I hope you enjoy this awesome song!

It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
Chorus:
F A#* F
But I will hold on hope
F A#* F
And I won't let you choke
A#* F C
On the noose around your neck
Dm A#* F
And I'll find strength in pain
Dm A#* F
And I will change my ways
A#* F C
I'll know my name as it's called again

Verse 2:
Dm F
'Cause I have other things to fill my time
Dm F
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Dm
Now let me at the truth
F C F A#* F
Which will refresh my broken mind
Dm F
So tie me to a post and block my ears
Dm F
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
Dm
I know my call despite my faults
F C F A#* F
And despite my growing fears
Repeat Chorus: (miss out post-chorus fill,
end on an F and let ring )
Verse 3:
Dm F
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
Dm F
And see the world hanging upside down
Dm
You can understand dependence
F C F A#* F
When you know the maker's hand
F A#* F
So make your siren's call
F A#* F
And sing all you want
A#* F C
I will not hear what you have to say
Dm A#* F
Cause I need freedom now
Dm A#* F
And I need to know how
A#* F C
To live my life as it's meant to be

I will hold on hope

And I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
F A#* F
And I will change my ways
A#* F C
I'll know my name as it's called again
End on F!
