A Rainy Night In Soho lyrics and chords
By Shane Mc Gowan And The Pogues, Lyrics and guitar chords Also recorded by Christy Moore and by Damien Dampsey, Written By Shane MacGowan. the youtube video is of myself which will show you how to play the song on guitar. I place a capo on the 5th fret and play G, C and D for the whole song. The key doesn't change, I'm still in the key of C Major, the same as The Pogues play it. This is an easy way of playing without using the F chord. A Rainy Night In Soho Tin Whistle Notes .The PoguestrA , who do cover versions of The Pogues songs also play this song in the key of C Major.
Here are the guitar chords in the key of D.
I've[D] been loving you a[G] long time ,[A],,,[D] down all the years down all the[G] days,[A],, [D]And I've cried for all your[G] troubles,,,[A],,[D]smiled at your funny little[G] ways,,[A] [D]We watched our friends grow up to[G]geather,,,[A][D]and we saw them as they[G] fell,,[A] [D]Some of them fell into[G] heaven,,[A],,,[D]some of them fell into[G] hell The Pouges version is in the key of C
I've[C] been loving you a[F] long time ,[G],,,[C] down all the years down all the[F] days,[G],, [C]And I've cried for all your[F] troubles,,,[G],,[C]smiled at your funny little[F] ways,,[G] [C]We watched our friends grow up to[F]geather,,,[G][C]and we saw them as they[F] fell,,[G] [C]Some of them fell into[F] heaven,,[G],,,[C]some of them fell into[F] hell I took shelter from a shower,and I stepped into your arms On a rainy night in Soho,the wind was whistling all it's charms I sang you all my sorrows,you told me all your joys Whatever happened to that old song,to all those little boys and girls Sometimes I wake up in the morning,the ginger lady by my bed Covered in a cloak of silence,I hear you talking in my head I'm not singing for the future,I'm not dreaming of the past I'm not talking of the first time,I never think about the past Now the song is nearly over,we may never find out what it means Still there's a lot I'm hoping for me,and your the measure of my dreams The measure of my dreams |
A Rainy Night In Soho is also played in the key of C by The Pogues, for this one I again play it in the key of C using the capo on the 5th, it's the same three chords all the way through. Although it's one of the best love songs written in the last 30 years it only reached number sixty seven in the British charts when released. A lack of air play from the radio stations ment it never got into the top 20 in Ireland or Britain.
Here are the guitar chords in the key of G.
I've[G] been loving you a[C] long time ,[D],,,[G] down all the years down all the[C] days,[D],, [G]And I've cried for all your[C] troubles,,,[D],,[G]smiled at your funny little[C] ways,,[D] [G]We watched our friends grow up to[C]geather,,,[D][G]and we saw them as they[C] fell,,[D] [G]Some of them fell into[C] heaven,,[D],,,[G]some of them fell into[C] hell |
