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

To me they're one of the few groups saying anything of doing anything in this grateful time to dribble in the chance you know for them to go up there with our fairy tailers just such good news it's almost worth from in another groove and of course the ninth pope who must be a conglomeration of Kirsty MacColl myself Mary Cochran and whoever Stevo you know whoever comes up with him there's always a room for a ninth Pogue and I'm glad to be a fraction of that ninth which contrasts with Nancy's number force majeure that's right man then we all work together on now straight to hell lungs greatest film ever made yeah don't see it was the long we went to Americana last year Phil Chevron was
ill so Joe very talented Olympus I stood up for Philip Chevron and he still comes with legs was that that's a long time since I played in the station a day long a lot of my clothes and egging me on little boats spiring that soundtracks a completely inspiring and it's not a lot out there that is yeah I've been I've been really driven back away from rock-and-roll because of all the idiots that have taken over so kafele I took out a bit of paper I divide it into into eight squares here I know because I spent a lot of time on the side of the stage this week watching the boys you know although the Pogues supported the clash in 1983 in the Brixton Academy I didn't really know them so well and I've only really got to know that musically since Daryl has
taken over the bass from cot I like to me they have Daryl Daryl was there with Jim fine I liked anchoring the whole thing down but nothing panics Daryl I started to look at Jen final you know I thought that Jim if it'll kick me for saying this but he's the Bill Wyman of this group you know like without him they're all gonna float away into the air you know when I get good together I'm definitely gonna cover if I should fall from grace of God because playing that number in America I just have to restrain myself from rushing onstage it's not the plain of it I want to join it on it's the scene of it you know Oh Spidey Stacy it'll never be short of a word I've heard he used to be a used car salesman I fully believe it and I heard that he never managed to even sell one
car and fully believe that as well but Spidey has a great wit which is a really the personality of the band you know that brings me onto the end of the visionary the poet of the band Shane MacGowan who I think is like one of the finest writers of the century and so when people for the Robin and then I was thinking about you know who's doing the work because in every group I always think back to my own group the clash you know to me like the rhythm was bashed out by me and tougher like I was looking at the polls and I was thinking you know it's um James finally you know now he's the one such energy what Showman you know he's like the show man of the accordion you never see someone using that accordion that you
know a Flacco humanists could see that he'd just die because I'd never seen anyone jumping and throwing an accordion man you know and James always comes off soaked in sweat but also Andrew Rankin but they call the clobberer I think that's a bad name for him because he's not clobberin anymore you know he's got great feel targets over that I mean I'm a rhythm guitar player there are fewer than guitar players in this world anymore because a lot of them lead guitars you know but written guitar player chevron is like really the tops because I had to go to America in Canada and try and cover his parts you know I just couldn't get that double time you know and it goes into like Irish triple time beats you know like at the end of a Turkish song of the Damned
that brings me on to Mr. Terry Woods who I see is he's like the master musician of the band I don't know what groups he's been in now he's run the whole gamut of rock and roll I like the story tells me when he used to go on those days you know I had a white horse his head on my head when I go on stage and that makes me think like wow we've all been through a few trips you know rock and roll and like if t woods can hang it all away from going home with a white horse's head on his head till now you know the rest of us it is babies
