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

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official RORY GALLAGHER tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
