RORY GALLAGHER - Pistol slapper blues
You find this acoustic song on the "Live! in Europe"-album from 1972,
not an original Rory-composition, but a fine work-out of theold Blind
Boy Fuller song. Rory himself played it for years.
I think for the '72 recording he used his Martin acoustic,later indeed
he prefered a restaurated 30er National.
A little part towards the end I couldn't finger out yet, sorry.

Well I'd know my dog
anywhere I hear him bark
Well, I'd know my rider if I see her in the dark
ain't it cold for you, mother
when you say you don't love me?
Well that's alright woman, you gonna need my help someday
you didn't say you didn't love me
when you were stretched out across my bed
you're drinkin' moonshine whisky and talking all outta your
head
ain't but two kinda people
in this world that I can't stand
that's a lying woman and a cheatin', knockin' man
Well, I feel like snapping
my pistol in your face
I'm gonna let the graveyard be your resting place
Well I'd know my dog
anywhere I hear him bark
Well, I'd know my rider if I see her in the dark

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.
