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.

I tGmuned the devilGm/Fs harp
It was theGm/E last thing thatD6/Gb I heard
Before I Gmwalked the stretch of Gm/Froad
between NGm/Eagoya and abD6/Gbsurd
I meant to fiCm7nd my lover there
But I fGmound a Gm/Flittle Gm/Ebird
She Ebsang me hGm/Dow the Cm7world was Eb/Bbmade
I Eb/Ahung onD6/Gb every Gmword
She Gmtold me why the Gm/Frabbit cries
and Gm/Ewhy some stars werD6/Gbe red
She tGmold me where the Gm/Fdoper goes
to Gm/Elay his wearyD6/Gb head
And that the Cm7world was incomplete
And the Gmking wouldGm/F soon be Gm/Edead
She oEbffered Gm/Dme her Cm7wing that Eb/Bbnight
I Eb/Atook the D6/Gbroad inGmstead
Gm (3x0003)
Maybe im bC7ack, bGmaby
Maybe im fC7alling from the poplar Gmtree
Carry me C7back, baEmby C7 Gm
With Gmborrowed pride I could notGm/F hide
I Gm/Egrew a sailors D6/Gbbeard
And as I Gmwalked to my innGm/Focence
My Gm/Eleaves disaD6/Gbppeared
Rented a Cm7room upon the hill
Where a Gmmarble Gm/Fcat appGm/Eeared
ShEbowed me Gm/Dwhere the Cm7fire Eb/Bbwas
And I Eb/Ahad notD6/Gbhing to Gmfear
For Gmall gods good and Gm/Fbrotherhood
We Gm/Edrank til I was D6/Gbcrowned
Then a Gmlady from the EGm/Fverglades
pulled my Gm/Eass up off the D6/Gbground
She kissed me fCm7our times on the cheek
And Gmonce uGm/Fpon the Gm/Ebrow
For a EbmomentGm/D I belCm7ieved thatEb/Bb I
had Eb/Acome for D6/Gbwhat I Gmfound
