Mumford & Sons - Babel
Standard tuning, capo on the 2th fret.
I guess it's not 100% correct, but something to build on.

Am = x-0-2-2-1-0
F = x-3-3-2-1-0
C = x-3-2-0-1-0
G = 3-2-0-0-3-3

Am
'Cuz I know that time has numbered my days
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
And I'll go along with everything you say
Am
But I'll ride home laughing, look at me now
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
The walls of my town, they come crumbling down
Am
And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
And I know their choices color all I've done
Am
But I'll explain it all to the watchman's son
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
I never lived a year better spent in love
Am G F C
'Cuz I know my weakness know my voice
Am G F C G~
So now believe in grace and choice
Am G F C
And I know perhaps my heart is farce
Am G F C G~
But I'll be born without a mask
Woo!

Am
Like the city that nurtured my greed and my pride
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
I stretch my arms into the sky
Am
I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
Then the walls of my town, they come crumbling down
Am
You ask where will we stand in the winds that will howl
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
As all we see will slip into the cloud
Am
So come down from your mountain and stand where we've been
F~ F C Riff 1 C Riff 1
You know our breath is weak and our body thin
Am F C
Press my nose up to the glass around your heart
Am F C
I should've known I was weaker from the start
Am F C G F
You'll build your walls and I will play my bloody part
C G C
To tear, tear them down
Am F C
Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down
Am G F C
'Cuz I know my weakness know my voice
Am G F C G
So now believe in grace and choice
Am G F C
And I know perhaps my heart is farce
Am G F C G
But I'll be born without a mask
