The Libertines - Smashing
Ok, One of my favourite Libertines songs, although i prefer it when its played in the
Babyshambles sessions, which is where i have tabbed it from. I'm pretty sure its spot
on after playing along with the recording.
I play this with all bar chords up near fret twelve, it can be played with open
chords.... which does sound a bit closer to the recording i must admit, i just
prefer the sound of the high notes in the bar chords...
and remember.... slowly slowly catchy monkey..... that applies to almost every
situation.....

Monkey whore showed the pregnant girl the door
Em
For something that she saw
A (Arpeggiate)
Underneath the bed
D F#m
And she says it's the devil that she saw
Em
In the mirror that she swore at
A (Arpeggiate)
And smashed into pieces
D (1 strum) F#m
Now the flowers in the teapot have all died
Em
Just like the child
A
Or was that just in her mind?
D F#m
And she says that her heart is growing cold
Em
And the window will not close
A
Perhaps she'll put a spell on you
Em A
Perhaps she'll put a spell on you
Em A
Perhaps she'll put a spell on you
