My attempt at the chords to Boys in the Band by The Libertines
FYou're walking like you never seen the light
FYou're walking like it every night
A#mBut I've never seen you dance,
Cand I've never heard you sing
Am                   Dm (Change the root note for each syllable of Single Thing: D, C#, C)
So how can it mean a single thing
G,  C(single strum)
           It's all so rudimentary
VERSE
You're talking like your handy in a fight
You talking like it every night
But I've never seen those flowers,
in the barrel of a gun
All I've ever seen you do is run
It's all so rudimentary
