Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me.
AmF
you're laying waste to Halloween
CAmG
you xxxxed it friend, it's on it's head, it struck the street
AmF
you're in Milwaukee, off your feet
FAmG
and at once I knew I was not magnificent
FAmG
strayed above the highway aisle
FAmCG
jagged vacance, thick with ice
AmFGC
I could see for miles, miles, miles
CAmG
3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
AmF
was where we learned to celebrate
CAmG
automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
AmF
that night you played me ?Lip Parade?
CAmG
not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
AmF
saying nothing, that's enough for me
FAmG
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
FAmG
hulled far from the highway aisle
FAmCG
jagged, vacance, thick with ice
AmFGC
I could see for miles, miles, miles
CAmG
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
CG
above my brother, I and tangled spines
AmG
we smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
AmF
now to know it in my memory:
FAmG
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
FAmG
high above the highway aisle
FAmCG
jagged vacance, thick with ice
AmFGC
I could see for miles, miles, miles

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.
