 E----0~---(0)-----------2~---(2)---------------4~---(4)---------4~-----|
 E--------0~------------- -----------0~----------------| IÂ’d suggest the
 B----2h4~---4p2p0~------ ----(2h)4b~--r4p2p0----------| first one, although
 F#----------------------o-----------------------------| he seems to bend
 D#----------------------r----hit B just once----------| when he plays it
 B----------------------- ----hold the note------------| live. Try bending
 E----------------------- -----------------------------| during the bridge.

 


 


 Justin repeats this riff 4 times. At the forth time, skip the bendy last


 riff and instead keep playing the chord.


 


 Repeat and keep it simple and quite as the background vocals start.


 „I’m tearin’ up“ is when the guitar stops.


 ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bon_iver/perth_tab_ver_11.html )


 Re-enter with the last riff of the intro at „Still alive for you, love“ and


 proceed with the main riff.


 


 Now what I find interesting during the chorus is the third (or tierce) on


 the last riff. This matches it properly in my opinion:


 

 
 E---------4~----------- -----------4~----------------|
 B----5h7~----7p5p4~---- ----(5h)7b~--r7p5p4~---------|
 F#---------------------o-----------------------------|
 D#---------------------r-----------------------------|
 B---------------------- -----------------------------|
 E---------------------- -----------------------------|

 


 


 Now lets get to the bridge or middle 8 or interlude, whatever:


 

 
 E----0-0---0-0--0--0~---------------------------------|
 B----x-x---x-x--x--x-------0-0---0-0--0--0~-----------|
 F#---9-9---9-9--9--9~------4-4---4-4--4--4~-----------|
 D#---1010--1010-10-10~-----5-5---5-5--5--5~-----------|
 B----9-9---9-9—-9--9~------4-4---4-4--4--4~-----------|
 E----9-9---9-9--9--9~------4-4---4-4--4--4~-----------|

 


 [d] [u] [d] [u] [d] [u] [d] [u] [d] [u] [d] [u] 


 

 
 E--------------------------------------------------------|
 B----0-0---0-0--0--0~--\---------------------------------|
 F#---9-9---9-9--9--9~--\---4~--2~----------0-2~----------|
 D#---8-8---8-8--8--8~--\---3~--3~------1~----------------|

 [d] [u] [d] [u] [d] [u]  


 


 Repeat this 4 times. During the last, continue with the main riff


 when you get to the E. Play it twice.


 Then play this for the outro:


 

 
 E----0--0--0~----------------------------------------------------------|
 B----x--x--x------0-0-0~--------0-0-0~----------------------0~---------|
