Biography:
Del Barber is an acoustic/folk artist from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Born in 1983, Del displays the world-weariness of a traveler of more years than he has amassed. Drawing on the traditions of artists like Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie, he explores what it means to be human in an infinite universe.

[Intro]
G C G D G C G D G
[Verse]
G C
I grew up across from the river
G D
It still runs muddy, shallow and slow
G C
And I got tall on the backs of skateboards
G D G
My ass on a bicycle, hands on a fishing pole
G C
All afternoon I would jig for Walleye
G D
But I'd be happy with just a Bass or a Pike
G C
Cause school was out and I was running
G D G
Past the darkness of the winter to the summer's sunrise
[Chorus]
Em G
You be Tom Sawyer, and I'll be Huck Finn
C D
Nothing can stop me, all I can do is win
C G D
I know it's a cold world, but I got this warm heart
C D G
If you need a friend, just tell me where to start
[Instrumental]
G C G D G C G D G
[Verse]
G C
When I was 12 I fell madly in love
G D
With the cold hard music of skates and sticks and pucks
G C
So I set out to make myself a name
G D G
In every rink from Winnipeg to Boissevain
[Chorus]
Em G
You be Greztky, and I'll be Messier
C D
Nothing can stop me, nothing will stand in my way
C G D
I know it's a cold world, but I got this warm heart
C D G
If you need a friend, just tell me where to start
[Instrumental]
G C G D G C G D G
[Verse]
G C
It was spring, and I was 16
G D
We made the playoffs by the skin of our teeth
G C
And she was out there wrapped up watching in those stands
G D G
I was playing just for her love and for that chance
[Chorus]
Em G
And she could be my Joan and I could be her Bob
C D
See we've hit our stride, we can do no wrong
C G D
I know it's a cold world, but I got this warm heart
C D G
If you need a friend, just tell me where to start
C D G
Darling if you need some love, just tell me where - - - to start
