I Cheat The Hangman

The Doobie Brothers

Transposer:

[Pre-Intro] No Capo (probably need a second guitar) Can be played from 7th fret capo’d position but it’s a finger knotter and it doesn’t flow as well as the open arpeggio does -IMO.

Cette chanson évoque le sentiment de solitude et de désespoir après la perte d'un être cher. Elle transmet l'idée que le temps s'écoule lentement dans l'absence, et les souvenirs deviennent des souvenirs douloureux. L’artiste se bat contre son propre destin, affirmant qu'il a déjà trompé la fatalité par le passé, même si la douleur persiste. Dans un contexte plus large, on ressent un profond désir de rédemption et de réconciliation, illustrant la mélancolie qui peut accompagner l'amour et la perte. Chacune des paroles reflète une lutte intérieure, mélangeant tristesse et espoir, alors que le protagoniste continue d’avancer malgré les ombres du passé.
