A Million Miles Away - Rory Gallagher
The "Irish Tour"-Album is maybe the most famous of Rorys recordings and it well
catches his distinctive and intense playing. Since "Blueprint" Rory had openend
his former trio concept for an additional keyborder (Lou Martin), who fits fine
together with Rorys playing. The live-version of "A million miles away",
presented on this record, shows and works out the possibilities of the original
studio version done on "Tattoo".
I tabbed the great intro, the first solo, the first verse, the refrain and the
bridge part. Most of the other parts are just slightly variated.

this hotel bar is full of people
the piano man is really laying it down
the old bartender is a high as steeple
so why tonight should I wear a frown?
the joint is jumping all around me
and my mood is really not in style
right now the blues want to surround me
but I'll break out after a while
well, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
I'm sailing like a driftwood
on a windy bay
why ask how I feel
well, how does it look to you?
I feel hook line and sinker
I lost my captain and my crew
I'm standing on the landing
and there's no one there but me
that's where you'll find me
looking out on the deep blue see
there's a song on the lips of everybody
there's a smile all around the room
there's conversation overflowing
so why must I sit here in the gloom?
this hotel bar lost all its people
the piano man has caught the last bus home
the old bartender is asleep in the corner
so why must I still be here, I don't know
well, I'm a million miles away
I'm a million miles away
I'm sailing like a driftwood
on a windy bay
