 This could be bass, but on guitar it is a 3rd fret on the low E string.
 On an icy island north
  In the woods beside the church
  We can bury crills and lockets -  filled with dirt
  And when the April thaws
  Brings us out  again
  We can bless  the arrows
  And the sun  won't stall
  And the land  will never  fall
 On virgin fields we'll skate
  Snap our children we'll create
  But the artic wind breeze ends
  And windmills thrill - into the threshing floor
  You can't thresh  the  snow
  When the snow  is ending
  There's no deep  vine  grove
  You can't  see the blankets  go
 Everything I did was right
  Everything I said was wrong
  Now we're waiting for the night
  To bring the dawn - into the only room
  Where the fire's  warm
  Where we keep  our vices  warm
  And that's all  that's  left
  All that's left  is vices  torn

[G6sus2]        On an icy island north [A]
        In the woods beside the church [C]
        We can bury crills and lockets [G]- filled with dirt
        And when the Ap[A]ril [C]thaws
        Brings us [Em]out again[Cadd9]      [C]
        We can ble[Em]ss the ar[Cadd9]rows  [C]
        And the su[Em]n won't s[Cadd9]tall  [C]
        And the la[Em]nd will n[Cadd9]ever f[G]all

[G6sus2]        On virgin fields we'll skate [A]

        Now we're waiting for the night[G]
        To bring the dawn - into the o[A]nly [C]room
        Where the [Em]fire's wa[Cadd9]rm    [C]
        Where we k[Em]eep our v[Cadd9]ices w[C]arm
        And that's [Em]all that'[Cadd9]s left[C]
        All that's [Em]left is v[Cadd9]ices t[G]orn
