C
I came home
         F
Like a stone
             C             G
And I fell heavy into your arms
 
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun

And I'll kneel down
      F     E    G
Wait for now
 
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground

I will wait, I will wait for you!
And I will wait, I will wait for you!
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
So break my step
And relent
You forgave and I won't forget
 
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way, shake the excess
 
 
[Chorus]
 
I will wait, I will wait for you!
And I will wait, I will wait for you!
I will wait, I will wait for you!
And I will wait, I will wait for you!
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
Use my head alongside my heart
 
So take my flesh
And fix my eyes
That tethered mind free from the lies
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
      A    B    C
And I'll kneel down
      F     E    G
Wait for now
 
And I'll kneel down
Know my ground

  C   B    A
Raise my hands
 F       E    G
Paint my spirit gold
     C    B  A
And bow my head
 F     E     G
Keep my heart slow
 
 
[Chorus]
 
I will wait, I will wait for you!
And I will wait, I will wait for you!
I will wait, I will wait for you!
And I will wait, I will wait for you!

EXCELLENT!!! Is there anyway to bump this one up to #1. If you want to learn the song correctly, this is the tab. Watch the live videos, he does not play in open D tuning on this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5t7B-ia8Y0 Thanks!!!

i can confirm that this is the tuning mumford uses during live performances. the fingerings are all correct except the bridge, which the chord progression (CBA FEG) is correct, but C B A is fingered the same as earlier in the song, not up to the 11th and 9th frets. great tab thank you.

everything looks good, just some small changes to get it 100% right. F B Am A E G E|---0----0----0-----0-----0----0--| C|---0----0----0-----0-----0----0--| G|---5----0----2-----0-----0----0--| C|---0---11----0-----9-----4----7--| A|---0----X----0-----X-----X----X--| C|---5---11----X-----9-----4----7--| Very important to mute the X. sound like crap if played open.
