Perth - Bon Iver
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Elliot
Email: eawparkes@hotmail.com
This is the first song (called Perth) off the new Bon Iver album titled "Bon Iver"
Tuning: EADGBE (Standard)
First of all i must point out that there are 2 possible ways of playing this intro (i
personally prefer the first way).
I'm not entirely sure which way Justin plays it so i will tab it both ways, just see
which one you prefer and have fun with it.
p.s: My email address is above, email me if you spot any errors or questions and i will
correct them.
First Way:

UPDATE 21/7/2011
The album has been out a whole month now and the tabs above were before it even came out
and since then i have had a few emails about this tab and how this tab could be
improved, so here is the updated version, enjoy!

Thats quality, Nice one. I think i prefer the second way!
second way is better. but anyways... favorite song on the album. so beautiful. but i wish he would've stayed with the intro for at least two minutes and then go in with the snare. i love this intro so much.
