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

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

Down All The Days - as perfomed by The Pogues

Strum an open D chord (8 beats)

D
Christy Brown a clown around town
D
Now a man of renown from Dingle to Down
D
I can type with me toes suck stout through me nose
D
And where it's going to end God only knows

G            Bm   D             C                         G
Down all the days - the tap-tap tapping of the typewriter pays
           C               D       G            D
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

G            Bm   D             C                         G
Down all the days - the tap-tap tapping of the typewriter pays
           C               D       G            D
The gentle rattling of the drays - Down all the days

break: strum D (16 beats)

G            Bm   D             C                         G
Down all the days - the tap-tap tapping of the typewriter pays
           C               D       G            D
The gentle rattling of the drays - Down all the days

outro: strum D (fade out)
