29 Strafford Apts Chords & Tabs

by Bon Iver

[Content]
I believe that Justin Vernon plays this song in Open D tuning, with a capo on the second fret.
The Eaux Claires Live version has a capo on the third fret.
All chords are not relative to the capo position.
If you want to play this song in standard tuning, just play the chords as stated without a capo.

[Verse]
E            
Sharing smoke
                         B         
In the stair up off the hot car lot
    C#m7                   A              E
The sun shined hard on the video spot, hmm
E                     C#7
Sure as any living dream
                  F#m7         B
It's not all then what it seems
        A             B          E
And the whole thing's hauled away

[Chorus]
A                            
A Womb, an empty robe, enough
You're rolling up
                        C#m      BA
You're holding it your fabric now
E       
Paramind
     B  AE
Paramind

[Verse]
E                   
Hallucinating Claire
                          B            
Nor the snow, shoe light of the autumns
             C#m7             A                              
I threw the meaning out the door (Now you could be my friend)
                          E                                 
There ain't no meaning anymore (Come and kiss me here again)

[Chorus]
A                           
A womb, an empty robe enough
                                             C#m      BA
You're rolling up, you're holding it you're bent prize
E              B  AE
Canonize, canonize

[Bridge]
Bm                        A F#m11
Motor up and yeah you're own
Bm                       A F#m11 E
And yeah you're on your own

[Verse]
E                             
Fold the map, and mend the gap
C#m7no5
And I tow the word companion
                    F#m7                       B    
And I make myself escape, oh the multitude of loving
          A      B          E
It comes always off the page

[Chorus]
  A                              
I hold a note, you wrote and know
                               C#m      B A
You've buried all your alimony butterflies
     E         B    AE
Sub find, Some night
