I've tabbed this because, like other Mumford songs, no-one else seems to have got it anywhere near right. The tuning is Double Drop D, meaning you tune your lowest and highest strings down from E to D, so low to high it's (D/A/D/G/B/D). After watching live performances of this song this tab is 100% correct, and straightforward. The intro has you 'tapping' out these shapes with your thumb* and forefinger: -------------------------------------------| -------------------------------------------| --9-----7-----11---------------------------| --0-----0-----0----------------------------| --x-----x-----x----------------------------| --9*----7*----12*--------------------------| The second time though you let the 7th fret shape ring out then strum UP the guitar a D chord (000230) which then continues. Then the verse chords are finger picked in typical Mumford style - the chords are below, you can work out the pattern by ear: D - 000230 A - x02222 Bm - x24432 G - 5x0400
"D;You hold Ayour trutBmh so purely, but swerveA not throughG the mindBms of men.. ..this lie is Adead"
This pattern continues, before it then goes back to the intro bit. Then, the chorus uses the same chord shapes shown previously but now you're strumming:
GWhispers in the Ddark, steal a Akiss and you'll break a Dheart Pick up your Gclothes and curl your Dtoes, learn your Alesson, leave me Dwhole Spare my Gshins for the Dark, I was too Aslow to Ddepart I'm a Gcad but I'm not a Dfraud, I'd set Aout to serve the Dlord A...And my Dheart, was Gcolder when you'd Dgone A...And I lost my Dhead, but Gfound the one that I Dloved
Then the "Under this sun" part uses these shapes: --0---0----0---0---0--0----| --0---0----0---0---0--3----| --9---11---9---11--6--2----| --0---0----0---0---0--0----| --x---x----x---x---x--0----| --9---12---9---12--7--0----| Then you play the intro part again but now you're strumming / palm muting and you play it 4 times. At the end of the 2nd repeat you go down to the D chord, and at the end of the 3rd repeat there's a slight variation on the shape around the 12th fret that's easy to work out. Finally then you're back to the same chorus chords followed by the shapes at the end, same as the "Under this sun" bit. Done!
