[G]
[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.
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.
