Subject: CRD/TAB: Selections from Pogues' "The Best Of The Rest"

Hi folks!

  I just recently discovered the Pogues, and have been listening to little
else for the past couple weeks.  (This is after a long struggle to find
the Best Of The Pogues, v. I & II, which are out of print in the states.) 
After picking through several of the songs, I checked out OLGA and
discovered that, of all the great tracks on v.II (personally, I think it's
a better album than The Best Of The Pogues) only Young Ned Of The Hill and
Summer In Siam had been transcribed.

  So here, to fill that gap, are 8 songs from that collection.  My
commentary is in {braces}.

  [A] [D] [A] [F#m]
  [A] [D] [E] [A]

If I should [A] fall from grace with God
Where no [D] doctor can re[A]lieve me.
If I'm [A] buried 'neath the sod
But the [D] angels won't re[F#m]ceive me.

Let me [A] go, boys,
Let me go, [F#m] boys.
[A] Let me go down [D] in the [A] mud
Where the [E] rivers all run [A] dry.

This [A] land was always ours,
Was the [D] proud land of our [A] fathers.
It be[A]longs to us and them,
Not to [D] any of the [F#m] others.

Let them [A] go, boys,
Let them go, [F#m] boys.

Where the [E] rivers all run [A] dry.

[A] Bury me at sea
Where no [D] murdered ghost can [A] haunt me.
If I [A] rock upon the waves
Then no [D] corpse can lie up[F#m]on me.

It's coming up [A] threes, boys,
Coming up threes, [F#m] boys.
[A] Let them go down [D] in the [A] mud
Where the [E] rivers all run [A] dry.

  THE SICK BED OF CUCHULAINN  by Shane MacGowan


  [C] [Dm] [C] [Dm]
  [C] [Dm] [F] [C]

Mc[C]Cormack and Richard [Dm] Tauber are [C] singing by the [Dm] bed.
There's a [C] glass of punch be[Dm]low your feet and an [F] angel at your
[C] head.
There's [C] devils on each [Dm] side of you with [C] bottles in their [Dm]
hands.
You need [C] one more drop of [Dm] poison and you'll [Am] dream of foreign
[Am] lands.

When you [F] pissed yourself in [Bb] Frankfurt and got [C] syph down in
Co[F]logne
And you [F] heard the rattling [Bb] death trains as you [C] lay there all
a[F]lone,
Frank [F] Ryan brought you [C] whiskey in a [Bb] brothel in Ma[C]drid
And you [Bb] decked some fucking [Bb] blackshirt who was [C] cursing all
the [C] Yids.
At the [F] sick bed of Cu[F]chulainn we'll [Bb] kneel and say a [F] prayer
And the [Bb] ghosts are rattling [F] at the door and the [C] devil's in
the [F] chair.

  [F] [F] [Bb] [C]
  [F] [F] [Bb] [F]

And [F] in the Euston [Bb] Tavern you [C] screamed it was your [F] shout
But they [F] wouldn't give you [Bb] service so you [C] kicked the windows
[F] out.
They [F] took you out in[C]to the street and [Bb] kicked you in the [C] brains,
So you [Bb] walked back in through a [Bb] bolted door and [C] did it all
a[C]gain.
At the [F] sick bed of Cu[F]chulainn we'll [Bb] kneel and say a [F] prayer
And the [Bb] ghosts are rattling [F] at the door and the [C] devil's in
the [F] chair.

  [F] [F] [Bb] [F]
  [F] [F] [Bb] [C]
  [F] [F] [Bb] [F]
  [C]

You re[C]member that foul [Dm] evening when you [C] heard the banshees
[Dm] howl,
There was [C] lazy drunken [Dm] bastards singing [F] 'Billy is in the [C] bowl.'
They [C] took you up to [Dm] midnight mass and [C] left you in the [Dm] lurch
So you [C] dropped a button [Dm] in the plate and [Am] spewed up in the
[Am] church.

Now you'll [F] sing a song of [Bb] liberty for [C] blacks and paks and [F] jocks
And they'll [F] take you from this [Bb] dump you're in and [C] stick you
in a [F] box.
Then they'll [F] take you to Clough[C]prior and [Bb] shove you in the [C] ground
But you'll [Bb] stick your head back [Bb] out and shout, "We'll [C] have
another [C] round."
At the [F] graveside of Cu[F]chulainn we'll [Bb] kneel around and [F] pray
And [Bb] God is in His [F] heaven, and [C] Billy's down by the [F] bay.

  THE OLD MAIN DRAG  by Shane MacGowan

{This song keeps a drone going underneath.  To get the same feel on a
guitar, finger the chords so that you get a constant D on the B string --
D=xx0232, G=320033, A=x02230.}

  Introduction on Verse Chords

When I [D] first came to [G] London I was [A] only six[D]teen
With a [G] fiver in my [A] pocket and my [D] ole dancing [A] bag.
I [G] went down to the [A] dilly to [D] check out the [A] scene
But I [D] soon ended [G] up upon the [A] old main [D] drag.

There the [D] he-males and the [G] she-males pa[A]raded in [D] style
And the [G] old man with the [A] money would [D] flash you a [A] smile.
In the [G] dark of an [A] alley you would [D] work for a [A] five
For a [D] swift one off the [G] wrist down on the [A] old main [D] drag.

In the [D] cold winter [G] nights the old [A] town it was [D] chill,
But there were [G] boys in the [A] cafes who'd [D] give you cheap [A] pills.
If you [G] didn't have the [A] money you'd ca[D]jole and you'd [A] beg.
There was [D] always lots of [G] Tuinol on the [A] old main [D] drag.

  [A]

One [D] evening as I was [G] lying down [A] in Leicester [D] Square,
I was [G] picked up by the [A] coppers and [D] kicked in the [A] balls.
Between the [G] metal doors at [A] Vine Street I was [D] beaten and [A] mauled
And they [D] ruined my [G] good looks for the [A] old main [D] drag.

In the [D] tube station the [G] old ones who were [A] on the way [D] out
Would [G] dribble and [A] vomit and [D] grovel and [A] shout,
And the [G] coppers would [A] come along and [D] push them a[A]bout,
And I [D] wished I could es[G]cape from the [A] old main [D] drag.

And [D] now I am [G] lying here I have [A] had too much [D] booze.
I've been [G] spat on and [A] shat on and [D] raped and a[A]bused.
I [G] know that I am [A] dying and I [D] wish I could [A] beg
For some [D] money to [G] take me from the [A] old main drag.




 DARK STREETS OF LONDON  by Shane MacGowan


  [F] [C] [Bb] [F]

I [F] like to walk in the [Bb] summer [F] breeze
Down [F] Dalling Road by the [Bb] dead old [C] trees
And [F] drink with my friends
In the [Bb] Hammersmith [F] Broadway
Dear [F] dirty de[Bb]lightful old [C] drunken old [F] days

Then the [F] winter came down and I [Bb] loved it so [F] dearly
The [F] pubs and the bookies where you'd [Bb] spend all your [C] time
And the [F] old men that were singing
When the [Bb] roses bloom a[F]gain
And [F] turn like the [Bb] leaves
To a [C] new summer[F]time

  And now the [F] winter comes down
  I [Bb] can't stand the [F] chill
  That [F] comes to the streets around [Bb] Christmas [C] time
  And I'm [F] buggered to damnation
  And I [Bb] haven't got a [F] penny
  To [F] wander the [Bb] dark streets of [C] Lon[F]don

  [F] [F] [Bb] [F]
  [F] [F] [Bb] [C]
  [F] [F] [Bb] [F]
  [F] [C] [Bb] [F]

And every [F] time that I look on the [Bb] first day of [F] summer
Takes me [F] back to the place where they [Bb] gave EC[C]T
And the [F] drugged up psychos with [Bb] death in their [F] eyes
And how [F] all of this [Bb] really means [C] nothing to [F] me

As [C] I walked [F] down by the [C] river[F]side
One [C] evening [F] in the [C] spring, [C]
Heard a [C] long gone [F] song from [C] days gone [F] by
Blown [C] in on the [F] great North [C] wind. [C]
Though there [F] is no lonesome [C] corncrake's cry
Of [Am] sorrow and de[F]light,
You can [C] hear the [F] cars and the [C] shouts from [F] bars
And the [C] laughter [F] and the [C] fights. [C]

May the [F] ghosts that howled round the [C] house at night
Never [Am] keep you from your [F] sleep.

And the [C] North wind [F] gently [C] sighed, [C]
And an [F] evening breeze coming [C] from the East
That [Am] kissed the river[F]side.
So I [C] pray now [F] child that you [C] sleep to[F]night
When you [C] hear this [F] lulla[C]by. [C]
