Tuning:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mumford & Sons - Band Name
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Various versions of this song exist, however none of have standard tuning along side the
correct picking
pattern. "Below My Feet" (also standard tuning) uses the precise picking pattern as
Whispers in the Dark.
Though maybe difficult to grasp at first, the complexity of this entire song revolves
around the basic
finger picking arrangement.
Tuning: Standard

The chorus is strummed with a down, down, up, down, up... pattern
GWhispers in the Ddark
Steal a Akiss and you'll break a Dheart
Pick up your Gclothes and curl your Dtoes
Learn your Alesson, lead me Dhome
Spare my Gsins for the Dark
I was too Aslow to Ddepart
I'm a Gcad but I'm not a Dfraud
I set Aout to serve the DLord.

But Gfound the one that I Dloved
Under the Asun D
