There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
by The Smiths
The lyrics are right out of the insert to "The Smiths I Best..."
Yes, the chords sound picked, but I prefer to pound out (strum)
the chords and sing along. I mean, aren't these lyrics so
uplifting?! ;-)
As for rhythm, I always say go find a recording -- it's much
easier than trying to get it from a transcription (or to put
it into one, for that matter...)
##Capo up to the fourth fret (This song is really in the key of E).
Intro:
Take me out tonight
where there's music and there's people
who are young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
because I haven't got one
anymore
Take me out tonight
because I want to see people and I
want to see lights
Driving in your car
oh please don't drop me home
because it's not my home, it's their
home, and I'm welcome no more
Chorus:
And if a double-decker bus
crashes into us
to die by your side
such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten ton truck
kills the both of us
to die by your side
the pleasure the privilege is mine
Take me out tonight
oh take me anywhere, I don't care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
(but then a strange fear gripped me and I
just couldn't ask)
Take me out tonight
take me anywhere, I don't care
Just driving in your car
I never never want to go home
because I haven't got one
I haven't got one
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
