song: Can't Stand Me Now band: Libertines album: Libertines Thought I'd take a stab at this tune, it's a nice little ditty, easy to play. free time: A B E either open or on the 5th & 7th frets. intro/verse: stay on the "E" from above for several measures after the drums kick in, then (at around :40) proceed to A, then arpeggiate the following: C#min B A B (1x) note: it sounds like the C#min is played variously at the 16th, 9th, & 4th frets throughout the song--you decide) The lead riff sounds like variations of the C#min played at the 16th fret, while the other guitar plays something like:
E---------------------------------------------| B-----------------12---------------12---------| G-----13--14---------13--14-------------------| D---------------------------------------------| A---------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------| like part of a 12th fret E. verse: E A An ending... you twist... C#min B A B ...light fingers threw the ... shattered....darkness... E A No you've got... you shut me... C#min B A B ...cornered... kicked out... the world... alot... pre-chorus: E C#min If you wanna... there's no worse... E C#min I know you... I'm still in... B A Can't take me... ...can't take me... (2x) F#min B I'll take you... you wanna... chorus E A You can't... (You can't...) You can't... (You can't...) (2x) The riff over this is something like: E---------------------------------------------| B---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-----------------| G---------------------------------------------| D---------------------------------------------| A---------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------| followed by: verse 1x pre-chorus 1x chorus (2x) outro/guitar/harmonica solo (verse chords 2x, with spastic 16th fret C#min riffing) I think that's pretty much it! Please excuse any discrepancies/ omissions, this is all my own work and my very first effort on this site. all the finest! _________________________________________________________________
