The Pogues - A Rainy Night In Soho Transcribed/arranged by Chiublé fnaaar@hotmail.com Basically, it's C, F and G all the way through. If you want to be clever, you can substitute the F for an Fadd9 in the appropriate places for extra Sexy Points from whoever it is that you're trying to impress. And the great thing about playing Shane MacGowan songs is that you sound EVEN better if you're drunk! Here's a simplified version of my arrangement of the intro for a single guitar. When I play it, I fill out more of the spaces between the melody with extra strums but I'm better at playing than I am at notating... (Oh, the bass note on the low E string is fretted with the thumb.) INTRO. (C) (F) (G) E|-8-----------------------|---------------------------| B|-8----8---------8--------|-1------1--3-3/5-3---------| G|-9---------9----9--10--9-|-2------2------- 0---------| D|10-------------10--------|-3------3------- 0---------|×2 A|-×--------------×--------|-×------×--------×---------| E|-8------------8-8--------|-1----1-1--------3---------| This is played over the G chord ALMOST every time. You can strum the other notes of the G chord while you do it for a fuller sound.

CI've been loving you a Fadd9long time G CDown all the years, down all the Fdays G CAnd I've cried for all your Ftroubles G CSmiled at your funny little Fways G CWe watched our friends grow up toFgether G CAnd we saw them as they Ffell G CSome of them fell into FHeaven G CSome of them fell into FHell G
CI took shelter from a Fshower G CAnd I stepped into your Farms G COn a rainy night in FSoho G CThe wind was whistling all its Fcharms G CI sang you all my Fsorrows G CYou told me all your Fjoys G CWhatever happened to that Fold song G CTo all those little girls and Fboys G

CSometimes I wake up in the Fmorning G CA ginger lady by my Fbed G CCovered in a cloak of Fsilence G CI'd hear you talking in my Fhead G CI'm not singing for the Ffuture G CI'm not dreaming of the Fpast G CI'm not talking of the Ffirst time G CI never think about the Flast G
CNow the song is nearly Fover G CWe may never find out what it Fmeans G CStill there's a light I hold beFfore me G CYou're the measure of my Fdreams. The Gmeasure of my Cdreams F G
