In 2009 Bon Iver collaborated with American singer/songwriter St Vincent, releasing the song “Roslyn’ as part of the ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon’ Soundtrack. It sounds amazing on Ukulele (Uke), so we thought we’d help you out and show you how to play it.

Roslyn by Bon Iver and St Vincent

Intro: Gb-Ab-Gb-Ab-Db-Gb

Verse:
Gb
up with your turret
                      Db  Gb-Db-Gb
aren't we just terrified?


Gb
shale, screen your worry
                          Db  Gb-Db-Gb
from what you won't ever find


Db                 Ebm7
don't let it fool you
Db                 Ebm7 Bbm Db
don't let it fool you  down


Db
dancing around, 
               G      Gb
folds in her gown


Gb
sea and the rock below
                    Db Gb-Db-Gb
cocked to the undertow


Gb     
bones, blood and teeth erode
                       Db  Gb-Db-Gb 
they will be crashing low


Db                   Ebm7
wings wouldn't help you
Db                  Ebm7  Bbm Db
wings wouldn't help you down 


Db              
down towards the ground
             G     Gb
gravity smiled


Gb
you barely are blinkin'
                     Db Gb-Db-Gb
wagging your face around
Gb                               Db    Gb-Db-Gb
when'd this just become a mortal home?

Outro:
Gb                                            Ebm7
won't, won't, won't, won't, won't let you talk me...
Gb                 Ebm7  Bbm Db
won't let you talk me, down

Db
we'll pull it taut,
             G.     Gb-Ab-Gb-Ab-Db.
nothing let out
