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

4 ukulele chords used in "The Cave" by Mumford & Sons: A, B, Dbm and E
I think that plus one is the easiest, especially in the beginning when you have to switch from Dmitry to F.
You can down tune your uke a half step to F#, B, D#, G# and set it to +1 and it sounds a lot better in my opinion and more like the song. But that’s just my opinion.
+1 is the original
FINALLY A TAB THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDS GOOD!
i really think -4 is the easiest, but thats just for me. . . 🙂
I think that plus one is the easiest, especially in the beginning when you switch from Dm to F.
I meant Dm to F, spellcheck?
-4 easiest
+3
3+ is really easy for beginners
What’s a good strum pattern for this?
New to Uke, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
You can also do A like this:
xA|4
xE|5
xC|4
xG|6
I would suggest an alternate chord pattern for the Dbm and E chord to make an easier transition.
E like this:
xA|7
xE|4
xC|4
xG|4
Dbm like this
xA|4
xE|4
xC|4
xG|6
Love the song, great tab too 🙂
It is written in Key E, so to make it easier I tune down half a step and play in key F [tune down half step, and use the chords in [+1] ]
