[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
C
Do not lie to us
G
Don’t hide your eyes from us
F
I will take this offered cup
Am
I will sit upon your floor
F
Tell your stories; tell all of your pain
Am
That’s what I came here for
C                                     G                                     F
And your children come and go as you weep

[Verse 2]
C                   G                   C                                     F
What have I if I have not love, I am a waste
C                                     G                   C                                   F
My words are empty vessels, if I do nothing in this place
Am                                     G
And we can scream into the shadows
Am                   F                   G
And it’s good that we can
Am                                     C                   F
But walk with me, I think we’ll find a way
Am                   C                                     F
And walk with me, I think we’ll find a way

[Verse 3]
Am                   G                   C
But I meet you at the Delta
Am                                     G                   C
Where the rivers run into the sea
Am                   G                   C
And I’ll meet you at the Delta
Am                   G                   C
What’s behind, I can clearly see
Am                   G                   C
That beyond, that’s beyond me

And does your lo-o-o-ve prefer the others?

And does your lo-o-o-ve, just make you feel good?

Does my lo-o-o-ve prefer the others?

Does my lo-o-o-ve just make me feel good?

How to play Delta: key, chords and progression

Delta by Mumford & Sons is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 4 chords: C, G, F and Am.

The progression the song keeps returning to is Am – G – C – G (vi – V – I – V in C major). In solfa, that is lah – soh – doh – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, D, C, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
