Guitar Tab

The Libertines - What Katie Did

I have included the lyrics with timing as well. The only part not included in the tab is
part of the song where it stops then starts again. The part after the break, I don't
play that part anyway. But if you really want that part e-mail me from my address at the
and I'll tab it out for you. :)
