Mumford And Sons – Little Lion Man chords ver. 6

Standard Tuning. (Yes, I know the original doesn't use standard tuning, 
but this is for those who don't want to re-tune their guitars).

Capo at 5th Fret. Chords relative to capo.


Intro:   

Am  Am7add11  Am  Am7add11   Am  Am7add11            }                                                     } x 2

Am  Am7add11  Am  Amaddb13   Am         }                                        } x 2
C/G  Csus2add6/G  C/G  Cadd11/G   C/G   }

(Much easier than the chords names suggest. See the chord definitions below.
 It's pretty much just Am to C x 4, but you lift your 2nd and 3rd finger off 
 the  Am to make the Am7add11 and for C/G to Csus2add6/G,  move your 2nd 
 finger from the 4th string 2nd fret to the 3rd string 2nd fret, then back 
 then open 4th for a Csus2/G. When the strumming gets a little more 
 enthusiastic you may hit the 6th string occasionally in which case the Am 
 and Am7add11 would suffix /E as the bass note, but this is a song for 
 raucous enjoyment rather than worrying about the technicalities of what 
 chords you're playing! Listen for the strumming pattern.)


Verse 1:

AmWeep for yourself, my man,
                               C/Gyou'll never be what is in your heart.
