<9212102230.AA18812@soda.berkeley.edu> Subject: The Smiths: There is a Light that Never Goes Out To: jamesb@nevada.edu Date: Thu, 10 Dec 1992 14:30:56 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL5] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 2983 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: Am F G
Am GTake me AmoutG tonFight C G where there's Ammusic and there's Gpeople

Chorus: Em F
GAnd if a Cdouble-decker Ambus Fcrashes into us G
to die by Cyour side such a Fheavenly way to Gdie
And if a Cten ton trAmuck Fkills the both of us G
