Verse 1:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mumford_and_sons/little_lion_man_crd_ver_2.html ]

Bb Am g F*
take all the courage you have left
c Bb Am g F*
wasted on fixing all the problems that you made in your own head
Chorus:
Dm Bb F (you can sub in the * chords here if you like)
but it was not your fault but mine

Verse 2: (same as verse 1)
tremble for yourself, my man,
you know that you have seen this all before

your grace is wasted in your face,
your boldness stands alone among the wreck
learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck
