Guitar Tab

Band: The Libertines
Song: Don't Look Back Into the Sun

To get the proper rhythm for this song, you really must listen to the CD.
This is just an approximation of what they do.

INTRO:

Play this with palm muting and a bit of distortion.
  Em         D            C           D           Am        Bm

That bit is played twice, and you can also play it during the verse on a
different guitar.

This bit is pretty fast, so listen to the CD and get the proper rhythm from
that.

                                              (Singing starts now)

VERSE:
For this next bit, just strum the chords once (except the last C).

  Em                D           C                           D

A:----------------------------------------------------------------------
E:----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Don't look back into the Sun, now that you know that your time has come,

            Am            Bm             G       C
e:----------5-------------7--------------3-------3-3-3-3-3-3------------

G:----------5-------------7--------------4-------5-5-5-5-5-5------------
D:----------7-------------9--------------5-------5-5-5-5-5-5------------
A:----------------------------------------------------------------------
E:----------------------------------------------------------------------
  And they said it would never come for you.

CHORUS:

Strum these several times.
  D                                                    G
e:5----------------------------------------------------3----------------
B:7----------------------------------------------------3----------------
G:7----------------------------------------------------4----------------
D:7----------------------------------------------------5----------------
A:5----------------------------------------------------5----------------
E:----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Now they'll never forgive you but they won't let you go,

e:5----------------------------------------------------P----------------
B:7----------------------------------------------------A----------------
G:7----------------------------------------------------U----------------
D:7----------------------------------------------------S----------------
A:5----------------------------------------------------E----------------
E:----------------------------------------------------------------------
  Now they'll never forgive you but they won't let you go, Let me go! (Drum
roll)

That's basically it.  Theres a little solo bit in the middle which is just
the quick bit from the beginning.  Play the chorus again after that and

your uncle.

This is all my own work.
