Bon Iver is a Grammy Award winning folk band from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, United States, and one of Justin Vernon's current and most notable music projects to date. The band also consists of Mike Noyce, Sean Carey and Matt MacCaughan.
The name 'Bon Iver' (pronounced "bon ee-VAIR") is a play on the French phrase 'bon hiver' meaning 'good winter'. Vernon independently released Bon Iver's debut album For Emma, Forever Ago in 2007, most of which was recorded during a four-month stay in a remote cabin in Wisconsin.

This tab is in C, obiviously (the song itself is in F). Not 100% on all the chords. Not sure about the lyrics either. C/G=x20033 (except for in "every place I go" where I think x2000x sounds better)
CG/BC You ride in the park and you're peaking
FC Piss pools in your seat
CG/BCF She’s standing inside but you surely repeat
AmG/BCG/B Oh God don’t leave me here
CF I will freeze till the end
CG/BC Love is loves reprieve
Winter is coming and you're stacking All your summer sheets Now when the wind blows you cover your teeth Oh, in our tool shed where you trade in your blues Love is loves sad news
FAm That was Wisconsin that was yesterday
DmCG/BCF Now I have nothing that I can keep
CG/BCF Cause every place I go I take another place with me
CG/BC Love is loves mystique
You’re up on the bar and your shaking With every grimy word Who will love What’s love when you’ve hurt Wherever is your scene the snow kissed the curb Love is loves return
That was Wisconsin that was yesterday Now I have nothing that I can keep Cause every place I go I take another place with me Love is loves critique
