# Continue to play Intro piece for the first lines:
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
# Start Strumming:
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
# Use intro again:
Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
# Strum:
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
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
Am C
And see the world hanging upside down
Am
You can understand dependence
C G C
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 C G
I will not hear what you have to say
Am F C
Cause I need freedom now
Am F C
And I need to know how
F C G
To live my life as it's meant to be
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 C-G-C
I'll know my name as it's called again

About this song: The Cave
"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.
