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.
