Lovers' Eyes Mumford & Sons
Song: Lovers Eyes
i made some changes to a version already posted, i added an Em7 and an F chord in the
verses. you can hear it if you listen to Mumford and Sons play it. Of course it sounds
better if you change you guitar to DADF#AD tuning but this sounds ok if you don't want to retune.

Intro: C C G C
Verse 1:
Love was ki[C]nd, for a [Em7]time
Now just ac[G]hes, and it m[F]akes me bli[C]nd
This mirrors h[C]olds my eyes too b[Em7]right
That I can't s[G]ee the others [F]in my li[C]fe
We too you[C]ng and heads too s[Em7]trong
To bear the we[G]ight of these l[F]over's e[C]yes
Cuz I feel nu[C]mb beneath your t[Em7]ongue
Beneath the cu[G]rse of these l[F]over's e[C]yes.
Chorus 1:
But do not a[F]sk the price I p[C]ay, I must li[G]ve with my quiet r[C]age
Tame the gho[F]sts in my he[C]ad that run wi[G]ld and wish me de[C]ad
Should you sh[F]ake my ash to the wi[C]nd
Lord forg[G]et all of my s[C]ins
Oh let me d[F]ie where I l[C]ie beneath the cu[G]rse of my lover's e[C]yes
Break: C F (3x)
Verse 2:
Cuz there's no dr[C]ink or drug I've t[Em7]ried
To rid the cu[G]rse of these [F]lover's e[C]yes
And I feel nu[C]mb beneath your t[Em7]ongue
Your strength just ma[G]kes me... f[F]eel less [C]strong
Chorus:

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Love was kind, for a time
Now just aches, and it makes me blind
This mirrors holds my eyes too bright
That I can't see the others in my life
We too young and heads too strong
To bear the weight of these lover's eyes
Cuz I feel numb beneath your tongue
Beneath the curse of these lover's eyes.
Chorus 1:
But do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord forget all of my sins
Oh let me die where I lie beneath the curse of my lover's eyes
Break:
Verse 2:
Cuz there's no drink or drug I've tried
To rid the curse of these lover's eyes
And I feel numb beneath your tongue
Your strength just makes me feel less strong
Chorus 2:
But do not ask the price I pay, I must live with my quiet rage
Tame the ghosts in my head that run wild and wish me dead
Should you shake my ash to the wind
Lord forget all of my sins
Oh let me die where I lie 'neath the curse of my lover's eyes
Break:
Bridge: (2x)
But I walk slow, I walk slow
Take my hand, help me on my way.
Instrumental: (4x)
Bridge: (2x)
Outro: (2x)
