Down All The Days Tab

by Pogues


***Down All The Days - Shane MacGowan
from the album "Peace And Love"

I believe that just a D chord is played throughout the verses.

Strum an open D chord (8 beats)


Christy Brown a clown around town

Now a man of renown from Dingle to Down

I can type with me toes suck stout through me nose

And where it's going to end God only knows

                                                     
Down all the days - the tap-tap tapping of the typewriter pays
                                             
The gentle rattling of the drays - Down all the days

break: strum D (4 beats)

I have often had to depend upon
The kindliness of strangers
But I've never been asked and never replied
If I supported Glasgow Rangers

                                                     
Down all the days - the tap-tap tapping of the typewriter pays
                                             
The gentle rattling of the drays - Down all the days

break: strum D (16 beats)

                                                     
Down all the days - the tap-tap tapping of the typewriter pays
                                             
The gentle rattling of the drays - Down all the days

outro: strum D (fade out)
