Verse 1:
Am
Weep for yourself, my man,
C
you'll never be what is in your heart.
Am
Weep little lion man,
C
you're not as brave as you were at the start.
G
Rate yourself and rape yourself,
F Fmaj7 C
take all the courage you have left.
G
Wasted on fixing all the
F Fmaj7 C
problems that you made in your own head.
Chorus: (Sustain C chord)
Am F C
But it was not your fault but mine,

I really fucked it up this time,
G
didn't I, my dear?
Am
Didn't I, my dear?
Am C x2
Verse 2:
Am
Tremble for yourself my man,

you know that you have seen this all before.
Am
Tremble little lion man,
C
you'll never settle any of your scores.
G
Your grace is wasted in your face,
F Fmaj7 C
your boldness stands alone among the wreck.
G
Learn from your mother or else
F Fmaj7 C
spend your days biting your own neck.
Chorus:
Am F C
But it was not your fault but mine,
Am F C
and it was your heart on the line.
Am F C
I really fucked it up this time,
G
didn't I, my dear?
Am F C
But it was not your fault but mine,

I really fucked it up this time,

The Cave
Capo: 4th Fret
Am C
It's empty in the valley of your heart
Am C
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Am
Away from all the fears
C G C
And all the faults you've left behind
Am C
The harvest left no food for you to eat
Am C
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
Am
But I have seen the same
C G C
I know the shame in your defeat
C F C
But I will hold on hope
C F C
And I won't let you choke
F C G
On the noose around your neck
Am F C
And I'll find strength in pain
Am F C
And I will change my ways
F C G
I'll know my name as it's called again
Am C
Cause I have other things to fill my time
Am C
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Am
Now let me at the truth
Am G C
Which will refresh my broken mind
Am C
So tie me to a post and block my ears
Am C
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
Am
I know my call despite my faults
C G C
And despite my growing fears
C F C
But I will hold on hope
C F C
And I won't let you choke
F C G
On the noose around your neck
Am F C
And I'll find strength in pain
Am F C
And I will change my ways
F C G
I'll know my name as it's called again
Am C
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
Am C
And see the world hanging upside down
Am
You can understand dependence
C G C
When you know the maker's hand
C F C
So make your siren's call
C F C
And sing all you want
F C G
I will not hear what you have to say
Am F C
Cause I need freedom now
Am F C
And I need to know how
F C G
To live my life as it's meant to be
C F C
But I will hold on hope
C F C
And I won't let you choke
F C G
On the noose around your neck
Am F C
And I'll find strength in pain
Am F C
And I will change my ways
F C G
I'll know my name as it's called again

Winter Winds
INTRO:
C G Am F (x2)
VERSE 1:
C G Am F
As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts
C G Am F
Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms
C G Am F
Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?
C G Am F
For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt
CHORUS:
F C
And my head told my heart
F C G
"Let love grow"
F C
But my heart told my head
F C G C
"This time no, this time no..."
VERSE 2:
C G Am F
We'll be washed and buried one day my girl
C G Am F
And the time we were given will be left for the world
C G Am F
The flesh that lived and loved will be eaten by plague
C G Am F
So let the memories be good for those who stay... hey!
CHORUS:
F C
And my head told my heart
F C G
"Let love grow"
F C
But my heart told my head
F C G C
"This time no, this time no..."
VERSE 3: (Strum chords only once)
C G Am F
Oh the shame that sent me off from the God that I once loved
C G Am F
Was the same that sent me into your arms
C G Am F
Oh and pestilence is won when you are lost and I am gone
C G Am F
And no hope, no hope will overcome
(Bring back to normal strumming)
C G Am F
And if your strife strikes at your sleep
C G Am F
Remember spring swaps snow for leaves
C G Am F
You'll be happy and wholesome again
C G Am F
When the city clears and sun ascends... hey!

That's why I hold with all I have.

And I will die alone

Well I guess I'll just go home,

I'm scared of what's behind

Spare me your judgements and spare me your dreams
Cause recently mine have been tearing my seams
I sit alone in this winter clarity which clouds my mind
Alone in the wind and the rain you left me
It's getting dark darling, too dark to see
And I'm on my knees, and your faith in shreds, it seems
Corrupted by the simple sniff of riches blown
I know you have felt much more love than you've shown
And I'm on my knees and the water creeps to my chest
But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me
Look over your hills and be still
The sky above us shoots to kill
Rain down, rain down on me
But I will hold on
I will hold on hope
I begged you to hear me, there's more than flesh and bones
Let the dead bury the dead, they will come out in droves
But take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes you've made
But plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
Rain down, rain down on me

Not all tabs were from me. I just wanted to put this album together because
Mumford and Sons are such a great band!! Thank you to all the people who tabbed these songs out!
(Please add The Pilgrimage on Facebook and give us a look-up!! We'd appreciate it
so much.)
