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!
