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

This is SO perfect!!! YAY!!!
Such a beautiful song and it’s so easy to play <3
What’s the rhythm for the intro?
i think it’s just down down up down up if thats what you’re asking for but like its slow
What are the rhythms for the intro?
I find it sounds good to switch to F on the words ‘love’ and ‘salt’ in the first verse (and the equivalent places in the other verses) although it sounds alright without it. Love this song!
thank u so much for this. it is so easy:)
There has to be a F between every Am and C.
Light is spelled wrong u ding ding
to be fair, “light” can also be spelled “lite”
its really nice if you put a F chord between Am and C for the first 2 lines!
Such a butiful song what is the rythom for the intro
It’s sounds better if you play a F chord after the a and before the c.
Kuxicka par that stuff is kronic
its good but the chords are all in the wrong place
i love this site
This is a beautiful and extremely easy song! Although switching to F in the verses was a very good suggestion from R.
Also I live in WI so this is super cool that Bon Iver is from WI too.
Beautiful. Pure art.
If you want the chord pattern then look up the song and listen to it and use the same pattern, I did and it is t to hard xx
it would sound better if you would put F instead of G at that point where it goes “Right in this moment this order’s tall’
(sorry my bad english)
Can someone simplify the riffs? I have no clue how to play them.
What is teh strumming pattern
