Hopeless Wanderer Mumford & Sons
Standard Tuning, Capo 5th fret.
The original version of this did not have part of the bridge after the first chorus, but
the studio version and later live shows do, so I'm including it. Listen to the song to
figure out the tempo changes and such. There's a nice little picking part when the song
slows down towards the end.
For the intro and the verse Marcus plays the all the chords are barre except Dm:
F: 133211
C: x35553
Gm: 355333
Dm: x00231
Bb: x13331
For the chorus and the bridge, he has the top 2 strings muted and plays the chords like this:
Dm: xx0231
C: xx2010
F: xx3211
Bb: xx0331
During the bridge he lifts off his middle finger to make xx0031 during the long Dm bit.
Listen to the song and you'll hear it.
Good video of an early incarnation of the song:

There is no shortage of live performances on youtube, but this was one of the best as
far as figuring out which chords he plays. Later versions include an earlier bridge, as
mentioned above.
