Share the Don't Know Where I'm Going Chords and Strumming:
Did You Know? Don't Know Where I'm Going is from Rory's second album Deuce. Rory recorded most of the songs from this album immediately after live performances to try to capture the energy and feeling of a live performance.
When Jimi Hendrix was asked - “How does it feel to be the greatest guitarist in the world?” his alleged answer was “I don't know, go ask Rory Gallagher.”
Rory was also Brian May's favourite guitar player. Not bad.

Don't Know Where I'm Going Lyrics
I don't know where I'm going,
Don't know where I've been.
'Cause I haven't seen my baby,
Since I don't know when.
I'm walking down that long road,
With a smile up on my face.
I'm broken-hearted,
But you won't see a trace.
Feeling disconnected,
These blues are out to kill.
Sweep them in the corner,
Put 'em in the bin.
All right so you don't sympathize,
Don't expect that you should.
Walk right for one day you might,
Run into this patch of gray clouds too.
All right so you don't sympathize,
I don't expect that you should.
Stay bright for one day you might,
Run into this patch of gray clouds too.
Gravel in my pockets,
From the places I have been,
The soles of my shoes are paper thin.
I got sand here in my pockets,
From the place that I come from.
That's where I'm going,
So I'll say so long, yeah.
