Rory Gallagher
Photo-Finish (1978)
Standard Tuning
One downstroke for each chord
*Intro*
GG
Brute Force and Ignorance,
DDsus4
Just hit town,
DD
Looking like survivors,
GG
From the Lost and Found.
GG
Brute Force and Ignorance,
DDsus4
Have come to play,
DD
A one-night stand at eight o`clock,
GG
Then they`ll be on their way.
GG
This old town`s exploding,
DDsus4
And the mayor`s uptight,
DD
He`d like to make it to the show,
GG
But he knows it`s not his night.
GG
He`s got to be beholding,
DDDsus4
To his legal spouse,
DD
But she`s put the thumbscrews on him,
GG
And snuck out of the house.
There she goes.
(solo)
AmAmAmAm
The picture on the poster,
GGAmAm
Raised an eyebrow or two,
AmAmAm
At fifty-five to seven,
GGC
Lord, you should`ve seen the queue.
AmAmAmAm
City slick and country hick,
GGAm
They came one and all,
AmAmAmAm
The traffic-light girl and the downhome kids,
GGC
Assembled in the hall.
GG
Brute Force and Ignorance,
DDDsus4
Yes, thats the name
DD
Young folks gonna miss 'em
GG
Now they gone away
GG
Well, the show got so crazy,
DDDsus4
Today they took the billboard down,
DD
I`ll never forget the scene last night,
GG
When the band was escorted out of town.
GG
This little town`s back in slow motion,
DDsus4
I`m sad to say,
DD
After the confusion,
GG
It`ll never be the same.
GG
Well, I took a walk down Main Street,
DDsus4
Just to pass the time,
DD
And I could hear that music,
GG
Still rolling through my mind.
GG
Brute Force and Ignorance,
DDsus4
They sure hit town,
DD
And if you want to find them, buddy,
GG
They`re down at the Lost and Found.
