This song was written by Justin for our graduating class & his 'teammates'(May 26, 1999) & sung astoundingly@our overnight lock-in which ended May 27, 1999. Whoever could have known...We all our so proud of him-his talent, his graciousness, his honor, & his humility. I am forever thankful to have his music in my daily life & that great talent...not for popularity, but quality is being honored. Congrats to you Justin for all you've done & all we'll hear from you in the future~~
@maxxap Ok I can tell you the chords for it, but you'll have to work out fingerpicking :) So when I type this: This is the low E - 0 0 0 0 0 0 - And this is the top E, I hope that makes sense!!
So, capo 3.
0 3 2 0 1 0
0 2 0 0 1 0
0 0 2 2 1 0
3 2 0 0 1 0
That's the main body of the song. I can't do all the other bits for you, sorry! But just a tip, I never really hear the top E being picked in the song. Sorry if any of that was patronising, I don't know your ability :)
@maxxap i have worked it out fairly well i think, however i simply do not have the time or patience haha, however the chord patterns are around (bar chords ofc) D, then move your first finger down one fret for the next chord, and the third im not sure the name of, but from top to bottom string is: 0, 2, 0, 2, 3, 2
This song is absolutely one of the best songs I have ever heard. The passion and soul put into this is beyond me. Justin Vernon, in my opinion, transcends art with his singing and songwriting abilities. I think anyone who loves/appreciates Bon Iver should really look into his older music and albums and, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, someone put these old Justin Vernon cd's back on the market.
I put together the lyrics. \/\/\/\/\/\/(dot)pitt(dot)edu(slash)~rph12(slash)vernonLyrics(dot)html
This is absolutely fantastic. Something incredible about finding an artist's early music. To think he was 20 years old when he recorded this entire album, it blows my mind. Subtle beginnings to a powerful career. Thank you so very much for uploading all of these, Vernon is a delight and an inspiration.

@thecrazycousins so a normal C chord progression then?i sounds more complicated then that.i'll try.thanks man.
maxxap 11 months ago
@maxxap Yeah thats right :) Try the strimming first, but it's very weird fingerpicking, try relax and go with the fast, funny rythm :)
thecrazycousins 11 months ago
@thecrazycousins this can't be right, as the low part in the intro has to be played in drop d to sound right
Masskater 7 months ago
@Masskater thus why i said it is played in drop d. also the third chord is simply a b minor bar chord
