***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 performed by The Pogues

        x2

         
I've been lovi

            
ng you a long 

     
time
            
Down all the y

          
ears, down all

         
 the days
        
And I've cried

              
 for all your 

         
troubles
             
Smiled at your

         
 funny little 

     
ways
             
We watched our

         
 friends grow 

            
up together
        
And we saw the

               
m as they fell
        
Some of them f

             
ell into Heave

   
n
        
Some of them f

              
ell 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:
        x2
        x2
      
      

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

        x2
        x2
      
      

        (to fade)
