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.

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...
