- Subject: TAB: Rory Gallagher - In your town
-
- Hi Rory Fans,
- since I use to take a look at the netnews, there's never been a Rory
- Gallagher TAB. So I tried to work out one myself. It's my first
- TAB-posting, so feel free to make suggestions.
- This TAB contains the intro and the main riffs. I think, it's senseless to
- tab the whole song exactly, because Rory usually does a lot of tricking and
- spontanous improvisation, especially during this song. Listen to the
- recordings, e.g. on Deuce and Live in Europe.
- So that's the way you should play this song. Take this material as basic
- and variate it. If requested, I could try to work out the solo, too.
- So have fun...
- Dirk

- RORY GALLAGHER: IN YOUR TOWN
-
- Rory uses a Fender Tele tuned to Open-E: E H E G# H E (low to high) and
- a capo on the third fret. I noted the the frets up from the capo to mark
- the open played strings.
- Be careful with the picking. Rory holds the plectrum between his thumb
- and the 1st finger and addidionally picks the upper strings with his 2nd
- and 3rd finger.
- The slide he mostly puts on the 3rd finger.
-
- The Intro:

- look out baby, your man is back in town
- look out baby, I won't stand no messin'`round
-
- the first man I wanna see is the Chief Police
- bring that man right over here
- I wanna speak (?) my peace
- I wanna cause no trouble, no fuzz, no fight
- but you look out man, you know this is saturday night
-
- the second man I wanna see is the old fire chief
- bring that man right over here
- stand him right in front of me
- I wanna cause no trouble, no fuzz, no fight
- see this match, I might set this place alight
- so look out...
-
- the third man I wanna see is the old D.A.
- he was the man who sent me away
- twenty two years, twenty three days, twenty four minutes
- I was locked away
-
- you come along baby, ask me where I've been
- up-the-river-holiday (??), up in Sing Sing
- one cold floor, four bare walls
- that's all they gave me, nothing else at all
- Sing Sing, Sing Sing, Sing Sing
- when I came out I could not feel a thing...
-
- now I'm back in your town
- in your town, in your town, in your town...
