Chords with lyrics
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 augmentedA 
BB 
E MajorE
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 BB A augmentedA
BB (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 MajorE A augmentedA
An ending... you twist...
C#min BB A augmentedA BB
...light fingers threw the ... shattered....darkness...
E MajorE A augmentedA
No you've got... you shut me...
C#min BB A augmentedA BB
...cornered... kicked out... the world... alot...
pre-chorus:
E MajorE C#min
If you wanna... there's no worse...
E MajorE C#min
I know you... I'm still in...
BB A augmentedA
Can't take me... ...can't take me... (2x)
F#min BB
I'll take you... you wanna...
chorus
E MajorE A augmentedA
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!
