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.

Intro: (Gm Gm/F Gm/E D6/Gb) x 2

   Gm (355333@1)          Gm/F 
I tuned the devils harp
          Gm/E            D6/Gb
It was the last thing that I heard
         Gm (355333@1)                  Gm/F
Before I walked the stretch of road 
         Gm/E        D6/Gb
between Nagoya and absurd
             Cm7
I meant to find my lover there
       Gm (355333@1)   Gm/F   Gm/E
But I found a little bird
    Eb (x43121@3)     Gm/D   Cm7       Eb/BbShe (x43121@3)sang me how the world was made
  Eb/A   D6/Gb  Gm
I hung on every word

    Gm (355333@1)            Gm/F 
She told me why the rabbit cries 
    Gm/E              D6/Gb
and why some stars were red
     Gm (355333@1)             Gm/F
She told me where the doper goes 
   Gm/E         D6/Gb
to lay his weary head
             Cm7
And that the world was incomplete
        Gm (355333@1)      Gm/F     Gm/E
And the king would soon be dead
     Eb (x43121@3)   Gm/D   Cm7       Eb/BbShe (x43121@3)offered me her wing that night
  Eb/A     D6/Gb  GmI (355333@1)took the road instead

Gm (3x0003)
          C7 (x32310@1)  GmMaybe (355333@1)im back, baby
          C7 (x32310@1)                   GmMaybe (355333@1)im falling from the poplar tree
         C7 (x32310@1)    Em (022000@1)C7 (x32310@1)name="chord_355333@1">Gm
Carry me back, baby

     Gm (355333@1)                      Gm/F 
With borrowed pride I could not hide
  Gm/E           D6/Gb
I grew a sailors beard
         Gm (355333@1)            Gm/F
And as I walked to my innocence
   Gm/E       D6/Gb
My leaves disappeared
         Cm7
Rented a room upon the hill
        Gm (355333@1)   Gm/F   Gm/E
Where a marble cat appeared
  Eb (x43121@3)    Gm/D      Cm7  Eb/BbShowed (x43121@3)me where the fire was
      Eb/A   D6/Gb   GmAnd (355333@1)I had nothing to fear

    Gm (355333@1)              Gm/F   
For all gods good and brotherhood
   Gm/E            D6/Gb
We drank til I was crowned
       Gm (355333@1)           Gm/F
Then a lady from the Everglades 
          Gm/E           D6/Gb
pulled my ass up off the ground
               Cm7 
She kissed me four times on the cheek
    Gm (355333@1)  Gm/F    Gm/E
And once upon the brow
      Eb (x43121@3)  Gm/D  Cm7       Eb/BbFor (x43121@3)a moment I believed that I 
    Eb/A     D6/Gb  Gmhad (355333@1)come for what I found

   Gm (355333@1)   Gm/F   
Now I sit alone 
             Gm/E         D6/Gb
with all the cracks in my guitar
    Gm (355333@1)              Gm/F 
For all the miles Ive put behind
   Gm/E          D6/Gb
I havent come that far
           Cm7 
But we are all compelled to look
        Gm (355333@1)  Gm/F    Gm/E
For the wind inside a jar


Gm (3x0003)
