Here's an acoustic guitar version of The Libertine.
  BmThe motorwaGy won't take a F#horse 
  BmThe wanderGer has found a F#course to follow 
  BmThe travellGer unpacked his F#bags for the last time 
  BmThe troubadour Gcut off his F#hand and now he wants mine 
Oh Bmno,  Goh F#no, not Bmme,  Goh F#no
------------------------------------
CHORD PROGRESSION CONTINUES AS ABOVE
------------------------------------
The circus girl fell off her horse and now shes paralysed 
The hitchiker was bound and gagged, raped on the roadside 
The libertine is locked in jail 
The pirate sunk and broke his sail 
But I still have to Ggo F#  
I've got to GgoF#, so here i Ggo F#  
I'm going to Grun the Arisk of being Bmfree 
The magicians secrets all revealed 
And the preachers lies are all concealed 
And all our heroes lack any conviction 
They shout through the bars of cliche and addiction 
So i've got to go 
I've got to go, so here i go 
I'm going to run the risk of being free 
   BmAnd in this Gdrought of F#truth and invention
WhoBmever shouts the Gloudest gets the F#most attention 
----------------------------------------------
CHORD PROGRESSION CONTINUES AS ABOVE UNTIL END
----------------------------------------------
So we pass the mic and they've got nothing to say except: 
"Bow down, bow down, bow down to your god" 
Then we hit the floor 
And make ourselves and idol to bow before, 
Well i can't 
And i wont 
Bow down 
Anymore. 
No more 
(end on Bm)

The motorway won't take a horse

The wanderer has found a course to follow

Oh no, oh no, not me, oh no

CHORD PROGRESSION CONTINUES AS ABOVE

------------------------------------

The circus girl fell off her horse and now shes paralysed

The hitchiker was bound and gagged, raped on the roadside

The libertine is locked in jail

The pirate sunk and broke his sail

G F#

But I still have to go

G F# G F#

I've got to go, so here i go

G A Bm

I'm going to run the risk of being free

The magicians secrets all revealed

And the preachers lies are all concealed

And all our heroes lack any conviction

They shout through the bars of cliche and addiction

So i've got to go

I've got to go, so here i go

I'm going to run the risk of being free

Bm G F#

And in this drought of truth and invention

Bm G F#

Whoever shouts the loudest gets the most attention

So we pass the mic and they've got nothing to say except:

"Bow down, bow down, bow down to your god"

Then we hit the floor

And make ourselves and idol to bow before,

Well i can't

And i wont

Bow down

Anymore.

No more
