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.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is a tab for the song for emma off the album for emma, forever ago. I'm not sure how many guitar players he has to play this song with him or if it's just solo, but I'm using two guitar parts.
(Guitar 1 is playing some basic chords)
[Intro] CEmFC 2x
(then this)
EmC So apropos:
EmC Saw death on a sunny snow F "For every life..." C "Forgoe the parable." F "Seek the light." C "...My knees are cold."
I used a previously existing tab from Mr.Cheeks for the chords and lyrics, other than that i did the picking part of Guitar 2 by ear. Hope you enjoy. ................taylorabela
