NOTES:

* = Octave Chords (12th fret = Nut).

1. Do warm-up your fingers and the strings before trying these chords, as the positions

the tempo, are very demanding.

2. My next step, ...is to get a mandolin to learn and try this tune upon. I'm sure that

will result in a different interpretation.

3. When I'm duly inspired I'll follow-up with the 'finger picking' notation.

4. As there is a dearth of information about this tune, I'd appreciate your comments and

corrections.

#BACKGROUND:
#"...'Goin' to my Hometown' was a firm live staple for Rory Gallagher, his tribute to the
#of Skiffle. It is perhaps fitting the only studio version known recorded with Lonnie
#and a rip roaring version it is, too. Lonnie Donegan sings the backup refrain with
#of gusto. As Rory had now given up his no singles policy, it's a shame this was not
#at the time of its recording. Its footstompin' rhythm would surely have gained Rory some
#gain in the fickle Top 20. The song's close out (is) with a very satisfying reflective
