Bon Iver - Beach Baby (Blood Bank EP)
This is my first post and as an intense Bon-ite I can assure you this
tab is nearly flawless...
Standard Tuning
C = 332010
F = 133210
Em = 022010
Am = X02210
Am/G = 3X2210 (just play an Am, with your pinky on the G)
D/F# = 2X0230
Strumming pattern (strum with hand, no pick)- 1 strum down on the bass note with
thumb, 2 strums down on the chord 1 strum back up...repeat -again, listen to the song
and if you're a remotely good musician, you'll get it...
Letter with a dash (ex. C-) means play chord an extra measure, you'll
get it if you listen to the song.
[Intro]
C- F Em-
C- Em- Am F C-
Em- Am Am/G C
C- F Em-
when you're out, tell your lucky one
C- Em- Am F C-
to know that you'll leave, don't you lock when you're fleeing
Em- Am Am/G
I'd like not to hear keys
C- F Em-
only hold till your coffee warms,
C- Em-
but don't hurry and speed
Am F C- Em- Am Am/G
once a time put a tongue, in your ear on the beach
F- Am Am/G D/F#- F Em---
and you clutched clicking heels
*Outro* w/ slide guitars
C- F Em-
C- Em- Am F C-
Em- Am Am/G F Am Am/G D/F# F Em-
C- F Em-...fade out...
Enjoy!

Not even close is a big exaggeration, this is pretty close, but I agree, it's not an Em, at least in the way you say it is. I play it as C/E, or C with the open 6th string.

This tab is actually right. Justin plays a nylon string and strums very quietly with his thumb. Like the tab says the Em is played with the first fret on the B string pressed. Ive seen him play it live. The tab is right.

i'm pretty sure the last line should include a dash with the F chord and with the D/F#. otherwise, perfect! thanks!
