***Rainy Night In Soho - by Shane MacGowan
from the EP "Poguetry In Motion"

I'm not 100 percent sure this is right, but it's a start.  I would
certainly accept any help with it to brighten it.

Rainy Night In Soho - as perfomed by The Pogues

[C, Amin7, F, G5] X 2

C         Amin7        G         G5
I've been loving you a long time
C            Amin7               G    G5
Down all the years, down all the days
C        Amin7              F         G5
And I've cried for all your troubles
C              Amin7        G     G5
Smiled at your funny little ways
C              Amin7             G       G5
We watched our friends grow up together
C      Amin7            G     G5
And we saw them as they fell
C       Amin7          F       G5
Some of them fell into Heaven
C       Amin7          G     G5
Some of them fell into Hell

I took a shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms
I sand you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song
To all those little girls and boys

Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
But there's a light I hold before me
And you're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams

Break:

[C, Amin7, G, G5]

Sometimes I wake up in the morning
The gingerlady 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 last

Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me
And you're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams

Down all the years, down all the days
