Rory Gallagher - A million miles away

Dm - No capo

Intro

Dm  A  Dm

Verse 1

Dm                        F
This hotel bar is full of people, 
Dm                                  F
The piano man is really laying it down,
Dm                                  F 
Even the old bartender is as high as a steeple,
Bb         A7  
So why tonight should I wear a frown? 
Dm

Verse 2

Dm                                  F
The joint is jumpin' all around me, 
Dm                                  F
And my mood is really not at style,
Dm                                  F 
Right now the blues want to surround me,
Bb          A7              Dm
But I'll break out after a while.

Chorus 1

          F           
Well I'm a million miles away,
        Dm
I'm a million miles away, 
Bb                      A7
I'm sailing like a driftwood,
      Dm
On a windy bay, 

      F
I'm a million miles away,
       Dm
I'm a million miles away,
 Bb                         A7
But I'm sailing like a driftwood,
      Dm
On a windy bay,

Verse 3

Gm
Why ask how I feel,
C 
Well, how does it look to you? 
Am
I feel kind a sick,
          Dm
Lost my captain and my crew.
Dm

Verse 4

Gm
I'm standing on the landing, 
C 
There's no one there but me, 
Am
That's where you'll find me, 
Gm
Looking out on the deep blue sea.
C  Dm  Em  F Em Dm

Verse 5

Dm                            F
There's a song on the lips of everybody,
Dm                             F  
There's a smile all around the room, 
Dm                       F
There's conversation overflowing,  
Bb         A7
But I sit here with the blues.
Dm

Verse 6

Dm                            F
This hotel bar has lost its people, 
Dm                                  F 
The piano man has caught the last bus home
Dm                                  F
The old bartender just collapsed in the corner,
Bb             A7                 Dm
Why I'm still here, I just don't know,

Chorus 2

      F
I'm a million miles away,
     Dm
A million miles away, 
Bb                      A7          Dm
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay, 

         F
I'm a million miles away, 
      Dm
A million miles away,
Bb                      A7          Dm
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay,
