I wrote this tab primarily for ukulele as a response to my video:

However the chords also work well on guitar too! (the A#* can be played as just an 
A#A#)
I hope you enjoy this awesome song!

It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind
The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat
Chorus:
FF
But I will hold on hope
FF
And I won't let you choke
C majorC
On the noose around your neck
FF
And I'll find strength in pain
FF
And I will change my ways
C majorC
I'll know my name as it's called again

Verse 2:
FF
'Cause I have other things to fill my time
FF
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
DmDm
Now let me at the truth
FF
Which will refresh my broken mind
FF
So tie me to a post and block my ears
FF
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
DmDm
I know my call despite my faults
FF
And despite my growing fears
Repeat Chorus: (miss out post-chorus fill,
end on an FF and let ring)
Verse 3:
FF
So come out of your cave walking on your hands
FF
And see the world hanging upside down
DmDm
You can understand dependence
FF
When you know the maker's hand
FF
So make your siren's call
FF
And sing all you want
C majorC
I will not hear what you have to say
FF
Cause I need freedom now
FF
And I need to know how

To live my life as it's meant to be

C majorC
I'll know my name as it's called again
End on
