The Libertines Boys in the Band Lyrics

BOYS IN THE BAND - THE LIBERTINES transcribed my Matt Smart
when you're playing this its best to use barre chords, its a lot easier. Also listen out
the strumming pattern, because it changes quite a bit during the song.
chords used : D# (x68886)
F (133211) or (x8,10,10,10,8)
C (8,10,10,9,8,8)or (x35553)
C# (x46664)
A# (688766) or (x13331)
Intro - D#
Riff 1
N.C F
You're walking like you never seen the light
You're walking like it every night
But I've never seen you dance
and I've never heard you sing
Am D C# C C (Fast Strumming)
So how can it mean a single thing
N.C Riff 2
It's all so rudimentary
Riff 2
N.C F
You're talking like your handy in a fight
You talk about it every night
But I've never seen your flowers,
in the barrel of a gun
Am D C# C C (fast strumming)
All I've ever seen you do is run
N.C Riff 2
It's all so rudimentary
but tell me baby how does it feel
I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel
And they all get them out for (they all get them out)
The boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
They twist and they shout for (twist and scream and shout)
For the boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
N.C F
You're walking like you never seen the light
You're walking like it every night
But then I stop to think
And i ask my self why
(fast strumming)
It's one of those things that darling you must try
N.C Riff 2
It's all so rudimentary
Now I'm jealous, I'm jealous of my own
I've no homestead but through these hearts I will roam, yeah
And they all get them out for (they all get them out)
For The boys in the band (only for the boys in the band)
Yes they all roll them out for (twist and scream and shout)
For The boys in the band (Only for the boys in the band)
Solo : For the first part alternate between F on the 1st fret and F on the 8th. The
part, just fool around with F on the 13th fret. The last part is just a fast strum of C and
the first part of riff 1.
Well tell me baby how does it feel
I know you like the roll of the limousine wheel
And they all get them out for(they all get them out)
The boys in the band(only for the boys in the band)
They scream and they shout for(twist and scream and shout)
For the boys in the band(only for the boys in the band)
repeat the last chorus twice, then end with on F on the 8th fret.
and thats it, hope its some help to you all!
