Rory Gallagher "If the day was any longer" chords

I received a request for a Rory Gallagher song, from his days with Taste, the song being "If the day was any longer" from the 1970 "On the Boards" album.

While I do have a Rory Gallagher song chords page on my guitar chords and lyrics website, I don't have a great many Rory songs, as my site is primarily aimed at learning guitarists, and the songs are in simple chords and lyrics format, not usually suited to Rory's unique and complex sound.

When I played the song on YouTube however, I actually remembered it, and it's one of those gorgeous mellow bluesy ballads Rory used to play as part of the acoustic section of his gigs.

So I was able to work out a version just using chords E, E7, A, G and B7, which should make it playable for most learning guitarists.

I have posted the song to www.guitarsongs.info at the link below:

Rory Gallagher "I'm not awake yet" chords & lyrics

Once again, somewhat 'punching above my weight' with this, but it's a great song by one of my favourite all-time artists, and I am a huge Rory Gallagher fan, and I actually have a Rory Gallagher chords page on my website.

Ok, I know my version of the song is a bit light, with just chords and lyrics and the short solo, but if you can even aspire to playing the solo at the end of the song, well ... you probably shouldn't be reading this! I think the song can work well as an acoustic number, if you can figure any neat embellishments to add to the sound, so much the better.

But, I've worked out my usual "chords and lyrics" version of the song, if you want to try it out, click on the link below:

Rory Gallagher - Messin' with the Kid chords

Ok, I'm definitely 'punchin' above my weight' here. But... I'm a huge Rory Gallagher fan, and I actually have a Rory Gallagher chords page on my website.

I was just checking out some great YouTube coverage of concert clips from the 70's when I hit upon a mindnumbing version of "Messin' with the Kid", and realized I hadn't included this in the (short) list of Rory songs I have.

Now I know that the chords are a tiny fraction of what's going on in Rory's blues music, but I also know that people ( i.e. ME! ) like to play along with their favourite music from time to time. Also, from experience, I know that learning guitarists love to get into jam sessions with the more accomplished players, so if you're friendly with a guitar-shredding Rory fan, being able to play along with the rhythm for the song is priceless practice - and great fun!

So, I've worked out my usual basic chord pattern for the song, if you want to try it out, click on the link below:
