Last Of The Blacksmiths

The Band

Transposer:

Last of the Blacksmiths by The Band Great song I really love this one! No Capo Standard Tuning [Intro] [Verse] Who robbed the cradle? Who robbed the grave? Who’s the one that asked to be saved? No no answer came I moved to the country that cried of shame I left my home and found a name No nobody could explain [Chorus] "Have mercy" cried the blacksmith "How you gonna replace human hands?" "Found guilty" said the judge "For not being in demand" [Verse] Frozen fingers at the keyboard Could this be the big reward No no answer came Brought up everybody to see for themselves They wouldn’t believe it from no one else No nobody could explain [Chorus] Dead tongue said the poet To the daughter of burlesque Cocteau Van Gogh and Geronimo They used up what was left [Chorus] "Cry wolf" said the martyr "I don’t believe I’m alive" "You’re the hero" said the mute "And you’re bound to survive"

La chanson évoque la nostalgie et la perte d’un artisanat traditionnel, celui des forgerons, symbolisant un monde en déclin. Elle soulève des questions sur l’identité et la quête de sens dans un paysage de désillusion où les réponses semblent absentes. À travers des images poignantes, le texte met en lumière l'absence de reconnaissance et la lutte pour préserver l'humanité face à une modernité parfois cruelle et inhospitalière. Le forgeron appelle à la miséricorde, rappelant l'importance du travail manuel, tandis que d'autres voix expriment le désespoir et la résistance face à des temps difficiles.
