Here's an acoustic guitar version of The Libertine.
Bm G F#
The motorway won't take a horse
Bm G F#
The wanderer has found a course to follow
Bm G F#
The traveller unpacked his bags for the last time
Bm G F#
The troubadour cut off his hand and now he wants mine
Bm G F# Bm G F#
Oh no, oh no, not me, oh no
------------------------------------
CHORD PROGRESSION CONTINUES AS ABOVE
------------------------------------
The circus girl fell off her horse and now shes paralysed
The hitchiker was bound and gagged, raped on the roadside
The libertine is locked in jail
The pirate sunk and broke his sail
G F#
But I still have to go
G F# G F#
I've got to go, so here i go
G A Bm
I'm going to run the risk of being free
The magicians secrets all revealed
And the preachers lies are all concealed
And all our heroes lack any conviction
They shout through the bars of cliche and addiction
So i've got to go
I've got to go, so here i go
I'm going to run the risk of being free
Bm G F#
And in this drought of truth and invention
Bm G F#
Whoever shouts the loudest gets the most attention
----------------------------------------------
CHORD PROGRESSION CONTINUES AS ABOVE UNTIL END
----------------------------------------------
So we pass the mic and they've got nothing to say except:
"Bow down, bow down, bow down to your god"
Then we hit the floor
And make ourselves and idol to bow before,
Well i can't
And i wont
Bow down
Anymore.
No more
(end on Bm)
