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.

GmF Well I met you at the blood bank Eb We were looking at the bags GmF Wondering if any of the colors Eb Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
Bb You said see look it thats yours F Stacked on top with your brother's Gm See how they resemble one another Eb Even in their plastic little covers
EbGmF And I said I know it well
Bb That secret that you knew F But don't know how to tell Bb It xxxxs with your honor F And it teases your head Gm But you know that its good girl Eb Cos its running you with red
GmF Then the snow started falling Eb We were stuck out in your car GmF You were rubbing both of my hands Eb Chewing on a candy bar
Bb You said 'aint this just like the present F To be showing up like this Gm There's a moon waning crescent Eb We started to kiss
EbGmF And I said I know it well
Bb That secret that we know F That we don't know how to tell Bb I'm in love with your honor F I'm in love with your cheeks Gm What's that noise up the stairs babe Eb Is that Christmas morning
