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.

EmCG Come on skinny love just last the year EmCG Pour a little salt we were never here EmCG My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Am7Em Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
EmCG I tell my love to wreck it all EmCG Cut out all the ropes and let me fall EmCG My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Am7Em Right in the moment this order's tall
G I told you to be patient Em7C I told you to be fine G I told you to be balanced Em7C I told you to be kind G In the morning I'll be with you Em7C But it will be a different "kind" G I'll be holding all the tickets Em7C And you'll be owning all the fines
EmCG Come on skinny love what happened here EmCG Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere EmCG My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Am7Em Sullen load is full; slow on the split
G I told you to be patient Em7C I told you to be fine G I told you to be balanced Em7C I told you to be kind G Now all your love is wasted? Em7C Then who the hell was I? G Now I'm breaking at the britches Em7C And at the end of all your lines
G Who will love you? Em7C Who will fight? G Who will fall Em7C far behind?
G Who will love you? Em7C Who will fight? G Who will fall Em7C far behind?
