The Cavev5

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!

Chords used:

C|-0- C|-0- C|-0- C|-2-|

Intro/Verse 1:

C|----5-0-2-------2-------0-------| (x3)

C|0-------4-------4---0---0-------|

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:

But 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

And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again

C|--------5-0--| (post-chorus fill)

Bridge 1:

F F Bb* F (x4 - Heavy)

Verse 2:

'Cause I have other things to fill my time

You take what is yours and I'll take mine

Now let me at the truth

Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears

I can see widows and orphans through my tears

I know my call despite my faults

And despite my growing fears

Repeat Chorus: (miss out post-chorus fill,

end on an F and let ring )

Verse 3:

So come out of your cave walking on your hands

And see the world hanging upside down

You can understand dependence

When you know the maker's hand

So make your siren's call

And sing all you want

I will not hear what you have to say

Cause I need freedom now

And I need to know how

To live my life as it's meant to be

C|--------5-0--| (post-chorus fill)

Bridge 2:

F F Bb* F (Heavy)

Final Chorus:

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

And I will change my ways

I'll know my name as it's called again

End on F!
