Kitty Lyrics Chords and whistle notes
Shane MacGowan And The Pogues Traditional.This song was brought back to life by The Pogues [ songs ]I recall Shane Mc Gowan saying that he heard it from his mother It's a love song about a Fenian saying goodbye to his sweetheart. A mighty sad song. Handy song to play, three easy chords. I have also included the tin whistle notes in the letter format, these notes are for any lead instrument including accordion keyboard banjo and so on.

So softly he then kissed her pale lips Twas the same story over and ore Hush mo mhuirnin the police are watching And you know that I must go ashore Hush my mhuirnin the police are watching And you know that I must go ashore In a day I'll be over the mountain Therell be time enough left for to cry So goodnight and God guard you forever And write to me wont you goodbye So goodnight and God guard you forever And write to me wont you goodbye The first ever gig by The Pogues was in a pub called
Pindar Of Wakefield which was on Grey's Inn Road on the 5th of Oct. The line up of the band at the time included Shane MacGowan on guitar and vocals, John Hasler on drums John later joined Madness, Spider Stacy backing vocals Jim Finer on 5 string banjo, James Fearnley on accordion who only recently began playing the accordion and the sound man was Darryl Hunt. The set list included - The Dark Streets Of London, The Clobberer, Paddy On The Railway, Streams Of Whiskey [ lyrics ] and Kitty. Most of these were written by Shane and the others were Irish traditional folk songs. The offical name of the band at this early stage was Pogue Mahone. Several names were put forward as to what to call the band and Spider came up with Pogue Mahone, ''It's from Ulysses by James Joyce he said '' Only weeks before Shane and Jim had been busking at Finsbury Park Tube Station. |
