Bon Iver – Calgary chords ver. 2
Chords:
My take on this wonderful song, un-capo'd and I think more accurate than the previous version.B* B**e-----------------0----------------------------------------------|B-----------------4----------------------------------------------|G------------4----6----------------------------------------------|D------------1----4----------------------------------------------|A------------2---------------------------------------------------|E----------------------------------------------------------------|&& - Throw in a F#sus4 or even a 244302 (F#add4; use your thumb) Intro: Abm F# BE Bdon't you cherish me to sleepE Bnever keep your eyelids clippedAbm F#hold me for the pops and clicksE BI was only for the father's cribE B*Abm F# Bhair, old, long alongE Byour neck onto your shoulder bladesE Balways keep that message tapedAbm F#cross your breasts you won't eraseE BI was only for your very spaceAbm F# Bhip, under nothingE Bpropped up by your other one, face 'way from the sunE Bjust have to keep a dialogueAbm F#teach our bodies: haunt the causeE BI was only trying to spell a lossAbm F# Bjoy, it's all foundedE Bpincher with the skin insideE Byou pinned me with your black sphere eyesAbm F#you know that all the rope's untiedE B B**I was only for to die besideC# AbmF#so it's storming on the lake&& little waves our bodies break C# AbmF#there's a fire going out,&& but there's really nothing to the south C# AbmF#swollen orange and light let through&& your one piece swimmer stuck to you B**Bsold, I'm EverE Bopen ears and open eyesE Bwake up to your starboard brideAbm F#who goes in and then stays insideE Boh the demons come, they can subsideB** Notes: Where the B** is played, the interesting thing here is that there are two guitars doing different things, the right one plays a Bsus4 and the left plays a normal B, which gives that weird sound. So combining the two we get Badd4. I think final B** is just what the right guitar plays during the previous B**s. I tried to get the end one close to what I think it is, I know I'm at least missing the high b, but I don't know how you'd play the chord with that note on a single guitar. Also, I think the lyrics given on the website are a bit tricky, in that he's written "swollen orange", but clearly in the song it is "swollen ocean" (makes more sense now, doesn't it?)
