The Libertines Anthem for Doomed Youth Lyrics

I play E and Emaj7, respectively, as:
Intro/and Verses
Here's a story about the rooms of death or glory to be learned by heart by all children or
men.
It's the hour of the morning on the day after the dawning when the sun they said
would never set,
it finally set again.
Was it Cromwell or Orwell who first lead you to the stairwell which leads only forever to
kingdoms to come?
Rushed alone by guiding hands, whispers on the promised land
They wished you lock? and handed you a gun
Life could be so handsome
Life could be so gay
We're going nowhere
But nowhere, nowhere is on our way
In the pub at night rocking out the lines of...?
Splitting to write all of the world's great tunes
Yes we thought that they were brothers then they half murdered each other, then they did a
karaoke turn and murdered our best song
Told the (?) of his wife about the last night of his life, she turned away in tears called you a liar
Where are all your dreams now? The battalions weren't so proud, lost in some old song and hanging off the old
barbed wire
Well life could be so handsome
It's all going to be okay
We're going nowhere
But nowhere, nowhere is on our way
Nowhere in the institutions, so they teach the revolution
Something that could ever come to pass
All we tried once before was the king's head on the floor
And we got booted out of (?) cause someone smashed the glass
Life could be so handsome
Life could be okay
We're going nowhere
But nowhere, nowhere is on our way
Life could be so handsome
It's all gonna be okay
We're going nowhere
But nowhere, nowhere is on our way
