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

  33 Em
  34 You took a part of me that I really miss
  35
  36 I keep asking myself how long it can go on like this
  37     A7
  38 You told yourself a lie
  39                                      Em
  40 Thats alright mama I told myself one too
  41   B7                        A7                         Em
  42 I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  43
  44 You took the silver, you took the gold
  45 You left me standing out in the cold
  46 People asked about you, I didn't tell them everything I knew
  47 Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  48
  49 I'm driftin in and out of dreamless sleep
  50 Somehow my memory's in a ditch so deep
  51 Did so many things I never did intend to do
  52 And I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  53
  54 I need your love so bad, turn your lamp down low *)
  55 I need every bit of it for the places that I go
  56 Sometimes I wonder, tell us just what its all coming to
  57 Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  58
  59  ...
  60
  61 Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink
  62 Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
  63 Feel like talking to somebody but I just don't know who
  64 Well I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  65
  66 Yes the last thing you said before you hit the street
  67 Gonna find me a janitor to sweep me off my feet
  68 I said thats alright mamma you, you do what you gotta do
  69 Well I try to get closer I'm still a million miles from you
  70
  71 Rock me pretty baby rock me all at once,
  72 Rock me for a little while
  73 Rock me for a couple of months And I'll rock you too
  74 I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you
  75
  76 Well there's voices in the night trying to be heard
  77 I'm sitting here listening to every mind-pollutin' word
  78 I know plenty of people put me up for a day or two
  79 Yes I try to get closer but I'm still a million miles from you

  86 <p>&ldquo;I haven't seen this reference yet, but in &ldquo;Million Miles&rdquo;, the
  87 line 'Turn your lamp down low' is from Blind Willie Mctell's great
  88 Statesboro Blues. <br />
