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.....

D F#m
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

Mais tous les jours
