A Rainy Night In Soho

Shane MacGowan

[Verse]
C                       *       G
I've been loving you a long time
C                                 *   G
Down all the years, down all the days
C                               F    G
And I've cried for all your troubles
C                            #   G
Smiled at your funny little ways

C                               *      G
We watched our friends grow up together
C                        *   G
And we saw them as they fell
C                       F     G
Some of them fell into Heaven
C                       *   G
Some of them fell into Hell


[Verse]
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

[Verse]
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


[Verse]
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
