[C] Alright, so, um, I like the beginning because you start with 3 different A shapes.
So with your capo on the 3rd fret, you put [G] your middle finger on that 13th fret there,

[Gm] I _ [C] _ _ call this the rainy night in Soho by the Pogues.
[Db] Put your capo on the 3rd fret.
This is how I play it.
I don't know how they play it.
[C] Alright, so, um, I like the beginning because you start with 3 different A shapes.
I think that's cool. _
_ So with your capo on the 3rd fret, you put [G] your middle finger on that 13th fret there,
_ and then your 12th fret above [C] that.
14th fret above that. _ _ _
And then [Eb] you go down to _ the F shape, which is 8th, [C] 9th and 10th fret. _ _
And then you go down to just an open A chord. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And then you've got that da da da, which I write, _ _ _ _ um, you go back to the F shape.
_ So, um, _ _ _ the other 3 notes, da da da.
But if you're playing the open F shape, you just put your little finger down on that 10th fret.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] Go to your D chord, D suspended 2nd.
[C] Now, I notice I'm playing the D suspended 2nd with my 1st finger and my 2nd finger.
I don't [Fm] normally play it like that, but in this song I do, and I'll show you why later.
[C] There's like many reasons why.
Um, so, let's go over that intro. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
That's cool, isn't it?
Alright, [Dm] so the next bit, da da da da.
[Fm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ On that [Fm] da da D.
_ 2nd fret, 4th fret [Dm] on that D thing.
[C] _ _
_ [D] And then I take my middle finger off. _
Play a C.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ Sounds a bit discordant, but that's okay, because this [F] is a passing chord.
_ _ [F] If you want, you can go 2, 4, 6, _ substitute.
_ _ [G] Then E.
_ _ _ _ You play that E suspended 4 for a sec, which is just 0, 2, 2, 2. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And then you do it again.
1, 2, 3, 4, 2, [C] 3. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ And the end of [C] the verse.
_ I've been loving you for [Fm] a long time.
_ [G] _ _ _ _
_ You always put that at the end of the verse, unless I write otherwise.
[C] _ _ Down all the years, down all [Fm] the days.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ Then I've cried from your [Fm] troubles.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ Smiled at your funny little ways.
And _ [G] it _ _ keeps going the same, same, same.
Until _ _ _ _ the end _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ of the second verse.
Some of them fell into heaven, [E] some of them fell [C] into hell. _
Some of them fell into hell.
_ Peace [G] us for a _ 1, 2, 1, 2.
_ Yeah, anyway.
_ [Bb] Then it goes back to normal at the end of the third verse.
End of the_
beginning of the fourth [C] verse. _ _
I sang you all [Fm] my sorrows. _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ I love that.
Da, _ _ _ [F] da.
And the best way I could find that was to stick it around the E [C] chord up [G] here.
At the 10th fret.
10, oh it's a C shape.
10, 9, 7, 8. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So what you do is you get your middle finger, put it down a fret.
No, a string, sorry. _ _
_ You got that kind of sound. _ _
_ Then put it back up to the normal.
Then you get your middle finger down the middle.
_ _ _ Da, da.
_ It's not always easy to get to [C] that, so you've got to practice it. _ _
_ I sang you all my [F] sorrows.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Told me all your little [Fm] joys. _
[Gm] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
Whatever happened to that [Fm] old song?
[Gm] _ [G] _ _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ _
All those little girls and boys. _
[G] _ Back to the intro.
_ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] And that's [Eb] the whole song.
I don't have to play the whole thing for you. _
That's the intro riff, that's all the little parts that I like to throw in.
[A] And I've written all that on the chord chart.
So I hope that helps.
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
[Gm] I _ [C] _ _ call this the rainy night in Soho by the Pogues.
[Db] Put your capo on the 3rd fret.
This is how I play it.
I don't know how they play it.
[C] Alright, so, um, I like the beginning because you start with 3 different A shapes.

_ So with your capo on the 3rd fret, you put [G] your middle finger on that 13th fret there,
_ and then your 12th fret above [C] that.
14th fret above that. _ _ _
And then [Eb] you go down to _ the F shape, which is 8th, [C] 9th and 10th fret. _ _
And then you go down to just an open A chord. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And then you've got that da da da, which I write, _ _ _ _ um, you go back to the F shape.
_ So, um, _ _ _ the other 3 notes, da da da.
But if you're playing the open F shape, you just put your little finger down on that 10th fret.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] Go to your D chord, D suspended 2nd.
[C] Now, I notice I'm playing the D suspended 2nd with my 1st finger and my 2nd finger.
I don't [Fm] normally play it like that, but in this song I do, and I'll show you why later.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
That's cool, isn't it?
Alright, [Dm] so the next bit, da da da da.
[Fm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ On that [Fm] da da D.
_ 2nd fret, 4th fret [Dm] on that D thing.
[C] _ _
_ [D] And then I take my middle finger off. _
Play a C.
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ Sounds a bit discordant, but that's okay, because this [F] is a passing chord.
_ _ [F] If you want, you can go 2, 4, 6, _ substitute.
_ _ [G] Then E.
_ _ _ _ You play that E suspended 4 for a sec, which is just 0, 2, 2, 2. _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ And the end of [C] the verse.

End of the_
beginning of the fourth [C] verse. _ _
I sang you all [Fm] my sorrows. _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ I love that.
Da, _ _ _ [F] da.
And the best way I could find that was to stick it around the E [C] chord up [G] here.
At the 10th fret.
10, oh it's a C shape.
10, 9, 7, 8. _ _ _ _
