RORY GALLAGHER: LAUNDROMAT

Here are some suggestions for Laundromat, one of my Gallagher-

favourites. The tab contains the main riff (during the song in

minor, towards the end in major), the chorus, the bridge and

the great solo.

I added the solo part to the former version. Ensure in most

cases that, if you come from the B-string down to the G-string

14th fret, you hit the G-string with your pinky. So you get

your fingers in the right position to finger first the 12th,

then the 11th fret on the G-string.

what do you think of that

I'm sleeping down at the laundromat

if you should pass you should drop my bag

but I don't have no clothes to clean

to put inside the machine

it was the craziest place I've ever been

oh, come around and meet my friends

they'll be there with me right through to the end

say I told you so

maybe bad times come and go

you don't know that right now but then you'll never know

what do you think of that

I'm on the street like an old straycat

if you should look for me you'd know exactly where to go

oh, come around and meet my friends

they'll be there with me, with me to the end

what do you think of that

I'm sleeping down at the laundromat

if you should pass by drop right in

but I have no clothes to clean

to put inside the machine

It was the craziest place I've ever been

Oh, come around and meet my friends

they'll be there with me right through to the end
