There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
by The Smiths
Transcribed by John S. Jacob (jsjacob@soda.berkeley.edu)
The lyrics are right out of the insert to "The Smiths I Best..."
Yes, the chords sound picked, but I prefer to pound out (strum)
the chords and sing along. I mean, aren't these lyrics so
uplifting?! ;-)
As for rhythm, I always say go find a recording -- it's much
easier than trying to get it from a transcription (or to put
it into one, for that matter...)
##Capo up to the fourth fret (This song is really in the key of E).
Intro:

GAnd if a Cdouble-decker Ambus
Fcrashes into us G
