 LUMP SUM - Bon Iver

 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)


 


 STRUCTURE


 =========

 So the story goes.


 Balance we won't know


 We will see when it gets warm
