Lover of the Light Mumford & Sons
I'm just showing the chords for people who don't want to play this with a capo.
Personally, I don't think putting a capo on the second fret is necessary to play
this song, for it doesn't make any of the chords easier. Also, I play an A/C# as
x4222x (I assume the rest of the chords are self-explanatory).
An[D]d in the m[A]iddle of the night, I may w[D]atch you go
T[D]here'll be no va[A]lue in the strength of walls that I[D]'ll have grown
There'll be no co[G]mfort in the sh[Bm]ade of the sh[Bm]adow[A]s thr[G]own
But I'll [A]be yo[D]urs if you'll [A]be [D]mine
Stretch out my l[D]ife and pi[G]ck the se[D]ams out
Take what you l[D]ike, but cl[G]ose my e[A]ars and e[Bm]yes
Wa[G]tch me cr[D]umble o[A]ver[D] and ov[A]er[D]
[D]I have done wrong, so b[G]uild your t[D]ower
B[D]ut call me home and [G]I will [A]build a thr[Bm]one
And [G]wash my e[D]yes out n[A]eve[D]r a[A]ga[D]in
Chorus:
[D]But love the one you hol[G]d
And I'll be your g[A]oal
To have and to h[Bm]old
A lover of the ligh[D]t
Verse:
[D]Skin too tight and e[G]yes like m[D]arbles
[D]You spin me high so w[G]atch me [A]as I g[Bm]lide
[G]Before I t[D]umble ho[A]me[D]ward h[A]om[D]eward
[D]I know I've tried, I w[G]as not s[D]table
[D]Flawed my pride, I m[G]iss my s[A]anguine e[Bm]yes
So h[G]old my h[D]ands up, bre[A]ath[D]e in an' b[A]re[D]athe out
Chorus:
[D]But love the one you hol[G]d
And I'll be your g[A]oal
To have and to h[Bm]old
A lover of the ligh[D]t

An[D]d in the m[A]iddle of the night, I may [D]watch you go

There'll be no co[G]mfort in the sh[Bm]ade of the sh[Bm]adow[A]s thr[G]own
[F]You may not trust the pro[Bm]mises of the c[Bm]hange I[A]'ll s[G]how
But I'll b[A]e y[D]ours if you'll [A]be[D] mine
