Calgary Bon Iver
My take on this wonderful song, un-capo'd and I think more accurate than the previous version.
B* B**

Intro:
[Abm] [F#] [B]
[E]don't you cherish me to sleep[B]
[E]never keep your eyelids [B]clipped
[Abm]hold me for the pops and [F#]clicks
I was [E]only for the father's [B]crib
E B*
[Abm]hair, old, long alo[F#]ng[B]
your [E]neck onto your shoulder blades[B]
[E]always keep that message [B]taped
[Abm]cross your breasts you won't [F#]erase
I was [E]only for your very [B]space
[Abm]hip, under [F#]noth[B]ing
[E]propped up by your other one, face '[B]way from the sun
[E]just have to keep a [B]dialogue
[Abm]teach our bodies: haun[F#]t the cause
I was [E]only trying to spell a [B]loss
[Abm]joy, it's [F#]all [B]founded
[E]pincher with the skin inside[B]
[E]you pinned me with your black sphere [B]eyes
[Abm]you know that all the rope's un[F#]tied
E B B**
I was only for to die beside
[C#] [Abm]
so it's storming on the [F#]lake
&&
little waves our bodies break
[C#] [Abm]
there's a fire going [F#]out,
&&
but there's really nothing to the south
[C#] [Abm]
swollen orange and light let [F#]through
&&
your one piece swimmer stuck to you
B**
[B]sold, I'm Ever
[E]open ears and open eyes[B]
[E]wake up to your starboard [B]bride
who goes[Abm] in and then stays inside[F#]
oh the [E]demons come, they can [B]subside
B**
Notes:
Where the B** is played, the interesting thing here is that there are two
guitars doing different things, the right one plays a Bsus4 and the left
plays a normal B, which gives that weird sound. So combining the two we get
Badd4. I think final B** is just what the right guitar plays during the
previous B**s. I tried to get the end one close to what I think it is, I
know I'm at least missing the high b, but I don't know how you'd play the
chord with that note on a single guitar.
Also, I think the lyrics given on the website are a bit tricky, in that he's
written "swollen orange", but clearly in the song it is "swollen ocean"
(makes more sense now, doesn't it?)
