The Libertines

Tom: C

Intro: Dm and G7

Queen Bodecia is long dead and gone              
Still then the spirit in her childrens childrens children it lives on
                         

Dm                       Bb                F        A   
But if you've lost your faith in love and music the end wont be long
Dm Bb F A
         Dm             Bb                 F           A      
Because if its gone for you then i too may lose it and that would be wrong
Dm Bb F A
Dm               Bb                F        
Tried so hard to keep myself from falling 
A                          Dm Bb F A
Back into my bad old ways
Dm                       Bb                F     
And it chars my heart to always hear you calling
A                            Dm Bb F
Calling for the good old days
A                           Dm Bb F 
Cos there were no good old days
A                           Dm Bb F A 
These are the good old days

Dm Bb F A 

Bm
And its not about, tenements and needles
                           G                             A
And all the evils in their eyes and the backs of their minds
Bm               G
Daisy chains and school yard games
A
A list of things we said we'd do tomorrow
A
List of things we said we'd do tomorrow


Dm                Bb         F             
The arcadian dream so fallen through
A                              Dm Bb F A
But the Albion sails on course
      Dm           Bb             F             
Let's man the decks and hoist the rigging
A                                    Dm Bb F A
Because the pig mans found the source
                                    Dm Bb F A 
And theres twelve rude boys on the oars

Dm Bb F A to end
