  20 <p>Capo 4th fret (Original key Abm). The sevenths are generally
  21 &ldquo;instable&rdquo;. Any bluesy addition to the basic chord goes (and
  22 probably is somewhere in the soundscape of the recording...).</p>

  27 Em
  28 You took a part of me that I really miss
  29
  30 I keep asking myself how long it can go on like this
  31     A7
  32 You told yourself a lie
  33                                      Em
  34 Thats alright mama I told myself one too
  35   B7                        A7                         Em
  36 I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  37
  38 You took the silver, you took the gold
  39 You left me standing out in the cold
  40 People asked about you, I didn't tell them everything I knew
  41 Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  42
  43 I'm driftin in and out of dreamless sleep
  44 Somehow my memory's in a ditch so deep
  45 Did so many things I never did intend to do
  46 And I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  47
  48 I need your love so bad, turn your lamp down low *)
  49 I need every bit of it for the places that I go
  50 Sometimes I wonder, tell us just what its all coming to
  51 Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  52
  53  ...
  54
  55 Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink
  56 Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
  57 Feel like talking to somebody but I just don't know who
  58 Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  59
  60 Yes the last thing you said before you hit the street
  61 Gonna find me a janitor to sweep me off my feet
  62 I said thats alright mamma you, you do what you gotta do
  63 Well I try to get closer I'm still a million miles from you
  64
  65 Rock me pretty baby rock me all at once,
  66 Rock me for a little while
  67 Rock me for a couple of months And I'll rock you too
  68 I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  69
  70 Well there's voices in the night trying to be heard
  71 I'm sitting here listening to every mind-pollutin' word
  72 I know plenty of people put me up for a day or two
  73 Yes I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

  80 <p>&ldquo;I haven't seen this reference yet, but in &ldquo;Million Miles&rdquo;, the
  81 line 'Turn your lamp down low' is from Blind Willie Mctell's great
