intro – F , C , F , C , G/Gadd11 ( x2 )

F C F C
they’re waiting to hate you

F C G/Gadd11
so give them an excuse

F C F C
they say that it changed you

F C G/Gadd11
but i know that can’t be true

Am F C G/Gadd11
i came in the entrance the makeup girl went through

Am F C G/Gadd11
and waited for ages , i waited there for you

Am F C G/Gadd11
hats off to my distant hope

Am F C G/Gadd11
i’m held back by a velvet rope

Dm Am G/Gadd11
and he’s behind the wall

Dm Am G/Gadd11
the smoke machine has made between us

Dm Am G/Gadd11
and if he does exist , if camera clicking , green room guests swirl

Dm Am F Em
’round the man whose real life can be touched

F G
then i will do just that much

( then from there he goes to a little picking part for almost the rest of the song . and i
this is about right .
pretty close at least . i hear a few variations every once in awhile but i think most of
guys should be able to figure them out . )

^^^ i know at the end of this i’m missing a part , just haven’t tabbed it out yet .

( accompanying vocals keep repeating )
hats off my distant

( justin vernon )
a little lie , a puff of smoke
my street tonight’s on fire with hope
you’ll be there , you’ll see us
i’ve got my ear against the screen
i’ll feel your feelings crackling
for every single inch of me , i’m going to make you mean it

( outro )

F C G/Gadd11
with every single cell of me , i’m going to make you mean the words you sigh

and there it is , bon iver’s cover of an amazing okkervil river song done even more
by the man himself justin vernon .
this is my first chord/tab , so constructive feedback is always a plus ,
but on this i mean it was pretty easy . hope it helps someone out there!
