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.

Del Barber - The Party Song (Capo 6)
[Verse 1]
G
Jesus is at the table drinking wine with Dionysus
C
Judas is arguing with Apollo about what the meaning of life is
G D
See I sent out invitations to a party that I was throwin', and everybody came
C G
And everyone except for Jesus forgot to RSVP
[Verse 2]
G
I never thought that Micho would get along with Rousseau
C
But with a little bit of booze the conversation just seemed to flow
G
And old Marx was in the backyard gettin' high on the trampoline
C G
Said it reminds him way too much of liberal, political economy
[Chorus]
C G D G
Yes, I know that I'm hosting but I cannot entertain
C G D G
I'm tired of takin' life so seriously
C G D G
Staring up her skirt so long at her black underwear
C G D G
She used to take me for a sucker, now she's takin' me upstairs
[Verse 3]
G
Old Dylan he drove up from northern Minnesota
C
He said Del you sure are a skinny little fucker
G
And he heard Guthrie in the back, all the way from the grave
C D G
Just to play some songs for folks who were too damn drunk to leave
[Chorus]
C G D G
Yes, I know that I'm hosting but I cannot entertain
C G D G
I'm tired of takin' life so seriously
C G D G
Staring up her skirt so long at her black underwear
C G D G
She used to take me for a sucker, now she's takin' me upstairs
[Verse 4]
G
You should have seen Ghandi roll right through my front door
C
On a fixed gear bike, with a smile that seemed so sure
G
He was passing out drinks to anyone who was looking bored
C G
Then he passed right out on the bathroom floor
[Chorus]
C G D G
Yes, I know that I'm hosting but I cannot entertain
C G D G
I'm tired of takin' life so seriously
C G D G
I've been staring up her skirt so long at her black thong underwear
C G D G
She used to take me for a sucker, now she's takin' me upstairs
[Verse 5]
G
So here's the moral of the party if you care enough
C
Sometimes the truth it gets a little gray and life starts gettin' rough
G
You might even feel like the reason's just playing hard to get
C G
It's a life that's full of things that don't quite end up makin' sense
C G
You see life is full of things that don't quite end up makin' sense
