"The Cave" is performed by the band Mumford & Sons, a London folk quartet. The track was first released in 2009, on their Sigh No More album. Its a pounding tale of hope and defiance, starting with gently picked acoustic and this gradually escalates into a huge wall of sound with a myriad of strange and traditional instruments.

                    Dm            F
It's empty in the valley of your heart
                    Dm            F
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
                     Dm                F        Am     F        Bb F
Away from all the fears and all the faults you've left behind
                     Dm               F
The harvest left no food for you to eat
                     Dm             F
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
                       Dm           F         Am      F    Bb F

But I will hold on hope and I won't let you choke

On the noose around your neck
     Dm          Bb        F        Dm      Bb      F
And I'll find strength in pain and I will change my ways

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               F       Am       F Bb F
Now let me at the truth which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears
                        Dm                F
I can see widows and orphans through my tears

I know my call despite my faults and despite my growing fears

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
                     Dm           F
And see the world hanging upside down
                      Dm                    F       Am     F     Bb F
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
      Dm        Bb     F     Dm     Bb        F
Cause I need freedom now and I need to know how

# so this song has a few versions on here, thought I'd add the version I find works :)
C                 F
It's empty in the valley of your heart
    C             F
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
C                 F
Away from all the fears
            C             G       C
And all the faults you've left behind

C                   F
The harvest left no food for you to eat
     C             F  
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
C                   F
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
           F        C
And I won't let you choke
       F     G           C
On the noose around your neck

Am            F           C

Am         F         C

I'll know my name as it's called again

C                  F
Cause I have other things to fill my time
C                C
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
    C             F
Now let me at the truth

Which will refresh my broken mind

C              F
So tie me to a post and block my ears

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
    C             F
And see the world hanging upside down
C                  F
You can understand dependence

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          G             C
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

                  Am             C
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
                  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

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

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

Long distance, I need you

and you think you'd be better off alone

when you think there's no reason to try

and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety

and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
