'Ray Lamontagne - Empty' Tab and Lyrics transcript

[CWMCALL]

I've been hooked on this song since I got the album. It's awesome.

"Barfly" is about the only song I can't quite get into.

I've been hooked on this song since I got the album. It's awesome.

"Barfly" is about the only song I can't quite get into.

Yeah me too. It's not that it's bad it just isn't on par with the rest of the album.

[Kahn]

What?!?!?!?!!? Barfly is one of my favorites

[mdel21]

I love the main line of the song. The delivery and the guitar. Simple and smooth.

[nate]

Speaking of Barfly I have a question about the verse part. I was looking at the tab on the Ray discussion board, and I don't quite buy the Am in the little verse part of the song, but I could be wrong. let me know what you guys think.

*When I saw him play it, it looked like the G7(320001) could have been (X20001) which would make it a b something
**I really just wanted to be cool and write "when I saw him play it" but it kinda looked like he wasn't playing the G bass note, idunno, he could've been...i'm blind in my left eye, and I think it might have been a Cher concert, still, either way, I don't really know the chord being played...
