The Devils Harp

The Barr Brothers

Transposer:

Before I get started I want to give credit where credit is due. This tablature was figured out by Big Bob over on the SlipLive forums. I’m just putting it together with the lyrics to make it a little easier to follow. His original post can be seen here (http://www.area216.net/sliplive/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3529). This is based on this video of Brad Barr playing this song solo (http://vimeo.com/76729726). Enjoy. Capo II Tuning EADGBbE (second string a half step down) chords used: Gm: 3x000x or 3x0003 Gm/F: 1x000x Gm/E: 0x000x D6/Gb:2x020x Cm7: x3100x or x31003 Eb: x6500x Gm/D: x5500x Eb/Bb:x1100x Eb/A "x0100x C7: x3200x or x32003 or x32000 Em: xx2013 These chords are used during the instrumental: D7: xx0222 D7b9(no3): xx0555 Ab/D: xx0898 Gm*: xx0006 or xx0796 D7/A(no3): 5x054x Gm/Bb:x1000x Intro: ( / / /) x 2 I tuned the devils harp It was the last thing that I heard Before I walked the stretch of road between Nagoya and absurd I meant to find my lover there But I found a little bird She sang me how the world was made I hung on every word She told me why the rabbit cries and why some stars were red She told me where the doper goes to lay his weary head And that the world was incomplete And the king would soon be dead She offered me her wing that night I took the road instead (3x0003) Maybe im back baby Maybe im falling from the poplar tree Carry me back baby With borrowed pride I could not hide I grew a sailors beard And as I walked to my innocence My leaves disappeared Rented a room upon the hill Where a marble cat appeared Showed me where the fire was And I had nothing to fear For all gods good and brotherhood We drank til I was crowned Then a lady from the Everglades pulled my ass up off the ground She kissed me four times on the cheek And once upon the brow For a moment I believed that I had come for what I found Instrumental: | | |D7b9(no3)| | |/ |* |D7b9(no3)| | | |/ |/(no3)| | | |/ |/ /| | |* | |/ /| | | |/ |/ /| | Now I sit alone with all the cracks in my guitar For all the miles Ive put behind I havent come that far But we are all compelled to look For the wind inside a jar (3x0003) Maybe im back baby Maybe im falling from the poplar tree Carry me back baby

La chanson évoque un voyage introspectif, où le narrateur traverse des lieux symboliques à la recherche de son amour, mais finit par croiser une créature fascinante qui lui révèle les mystères de l’existence. Les paroles évoquent des réflexions sur la nature du monde, les épreuves de la vie, et une quête de compréhension face à l’absurdité. Dans ce parcours, on ressent une atmosphère mélancolique marquée par des rencontres et des réflexions sur le passé, entre rêves perdus et espoirs. Il se retrouve finalement seul, confronté à ses expériences et aux fissures de sa guitare, symboles des chemins parcourus et des vérités apprises. C'est une belle illustration de la quête humaine pour le sens et la connexion, au milieu des défis et des questions existentielles.
