Biography:
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.

LUMP SUM - Bon Iver

Tabbed by: Dan Glover (dan-the-man278)

Note that this is rough, and my interpretation. Although I think the chord shapes sound
similar to what he plays on the record, I'm not sure that this tab is quite 100% correct (yet!)
Tuning: DADGBd **CAPO 2** (but guitar on recording is possibly capo 3 slightly detuned,
chords relative to capo)
Also note, the lyrics aren't meant to be completely in time with the bars, it's just so
know where you are!
Finally, I've split the bars up as a fast 4 rather than a slow 2, if that makes sense
CHORDS (the top strings are always very quiet, that Bon Iver/Justin Vernon bassy sound...):
======
Gmaj7: 55400x
Em9 (bit of a stretch!): 25400x
Dadd4: 05400x
Cmaj7: x3200x
Cmaj7*: swap between x3200x and x3400x (this is just a hammer-on/pull-off thing - listen
for it)
Cmaj9: x32000
C: x3201(0)
