  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:

  

  !--------------------------------!--------------------------------!

  !--------------------------------!----------------------------------!

  !--------------------------------!----------------------------------!

  !--------------------------------!----------3-5-3--3h5p3-3-5--3-----!

  !-/5-5-5--/5-5-5--/5-5-5--/5-5-5-!-/5---5-----------------------5-5-!

  !--0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0-!--0-------------------------------!

  

  The main riff goes something like this:

  

  !------------------------!-------------------------!

  !----3--------3--3-------!-----3--------3--3-------!

  !----3--------3--3-------!-----3--------3--3-------!

  !----------x-----------0-!-----------x-----------0-!

  !------------------------!-------------------------!

  !-0-----0-----0-----0----!--0-----0-----0-----0----! [...]

  

  

  !-------------------------!

  !----3--------3--3-----5~=!

  !----3--------3--3-----3~=!

  !----------x--------------!

  !-------------------------!

  !-0-----0-----0-----0-----!

  

  !----------------------------!----------------------------!

  !=5~--------5~==5~--------5~=!=5~--------5~==5~--------5-!

  !=3~--------3~==3~--------3~=!=3~--------3~==3~--------3-!

  !-----x-------------x--------!-----x-------------x--------!

  !----------------------------!----------------------------!

  !-0------0------0------0-----!-0------0------0------0-----! [...]

               

        look out baby,               your man is back in town [...]

  

  

  For the instrumental bridge after "so look out..." try this pattern:

  

  !-----4------4------4------4-!-----5------5------5-------5-!

  !----------------------------!-----------------------------!

  !---3------3------3------3---!---3------3------3------3----!

  !-0------0------0------0-----!-0------0------0------0------!

  !----------------------------!-----------------------------!

  !----------------------------!-----------------------------!

  

  !-----4------4--4--4p0-!-2------------------!

  !----------------------!--------------------!

  !---3------3----3------!-3------------------!

  !-0------0------0--0---!-0------------------!

  !----------------------!--------------------!

  !----------------------!--------------------!

  

  

  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...
