Verse 1:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/mumford_and_sons/little_lion_man_crd_ver_3.html ]
Dm*
weep for yourself, my man, 
                                  F*
you'll never be what is in your heart
Dm*
weep little lion man, 
                                          F*
you're not as brave as you were at the start
c
rate yourself and rape yourself, 
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
           Dm         Bb         F
and it was your heart on the line
           Dm        Bb         F
i really fucked it up this time
           c
didn't I, my dear?
             Dm*       F*       Dm*       F*
didn't I my.....

Verse 2: (same as verse 1)

tremble for yourself, my man, 
you know that you have seen this all before
tremble little lion man, 
you'll never settle any of your score
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

Chorus  x2

Dm*     F*     Dm*      F*


c      F      Bb    x8 (...ish)

Chorus:

           Dm (stop)             F             
but it was not your fault but mine
           Dm         Bb         F
and it was your heart on the line
           Dm        Bb         F
i really fucked it up this time
           c
didn't I, my dear?
           Dm 
but it was not your fault but mine
              
and it was your heart on the line
           
i really fucked it up this time
           
didn't I, my dear?
          F
didn't I, my dear
