Blood Bank by Bon Iver - Guitar Chords

Version 1 Version 2 Version 5

Obviously this is an acoustic rendition and isn't the way Justin plays it, but
sometimes you just can't be bothered to retune. This is for those occasions.

I play with the Capo on the 4th fret with standard tuning. Obviously change the
capo position depending on your voice if needed.
Strum pattern is very simple. If you're a beginner and are having some problems
then I'd recommend persevering and listening to the song over and over
(fortunately it's a great song!).
If you become dependent on strum patterns then you won't develop your ear or rhythmic abilities.

By the way, check out Anna Scouten's cover. 'tis incredible!

Em7 Dsus4
Well I met you at the blood bank
Cadd9
We were looking at the bags
Em7 Dsus4
Wondering if any of the colours
Cadd9
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
G
You said: "see look that's yours"
Dsus4/F#
Stacked on top with your brothers
Em7
See how they resemble one another?
Cadd9
Even in their plastic little covers
Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4
And I said I...... know it well........

G
That secret that you know
Dsus4/F#
That you don't know how to tell
G
It f**ks with your honour
Dsus4/F#
And it teases your head
Em7
But you know that it's good girl
Cadd9
'cause its running you with red.

Em7 Dsus4
Then the snow started falling
Cadd9
We were stuck out in your car
Em7 Dsus4
You were rubbing both my hands
Cadd9
Chewing on a candy bar
G
You said: "ain't this just like the present"
Dsus4/F#
To be showing up like this
Em7
There's a moon waning crescent
Cadd9
We started to kiss
Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4
And I said I...... know it well........

G
That secret that we know
Dsus4/F#
That we don't know how to tell
G
I'm in love with your honour
Dsus4/F#
I'm in love with your cheeks
Em7
What's that noise up the stairs babe?
Cadd9
Is that Christmas morning?

Cadd9 Em7 Dsus4
And I...... know it well........ (Repeat and fade 'til heart's content)
