The Libertines
Boys in the Band
Im almost certain that this is totally correct as i have
spent absolutely ages on it. A couple of bits and pieces
in the chorus may sound strange but if you listen carefully
and pick out the bass line that is what he is playing if you're
playing it at the right time.
