Hello Bon Iver fans, this one is my personal rendition (or duplication) of the version of "The Wolves" on the
actual album. After going through and taking inpiration from many different tabs, while also listening to the
song itself numerous times, I have concluded that this is as close as I can get to the album version of the
song. As many others, including myself, find tabs easier to read that chords, I will first introduce the
chords used in tab format then refer to them through the lyrics by the chord name. Immense credit to Greg 
Lisi
(Earthmaker541) and fostertspam@yahoo.com (dangerbirds) for their versions which helped me produce mine. 
Enjoy

Super useful, however I think the Bb chord isn't notated right, and that the 5th fret of the third chord should be played as well.
