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.

AmCCC Come on skinny love just last the year AmCCC Pour a little salt we were never here AmCCC My my my my my my my my GGAmAm Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer AmCCC I tell my love to wreck it all AmCCC Cut out all the ropes and let me fall AmCCC My my my my my my my my GGAmAm Right in the moment this order's tall
CC And I told you to be patient GF And I told you to be fine CC And I told you to be balanced GF And I told you to be kind CC And in the morning I'll be with you GF But it will be a different kind CC And I'll be holding all the tickets GF And you'll be owning all the fines

AmCCC Come on skinny love what happened here AmCCC Suckle on the hope in light brassieres AmCCC My my my my my my my my GGAmAm Sullen load is full so slow on the split
CC And I told you to be patient GF And I told you to be fine CC And I told you to be balanced GF And I told you to be kind CC And now all your love is wasted GF And then who the hell was I CC And I'm breaking at the britches GF And at the end of all your lines
CC Who will love you GF Who will fight CGF Who will fall far behind
