that everyone has a good tab of the song. It sounds pretty much perfect to me.


A x 9


D F#m
Did you see the stylish kids in the riot?

Bm G G G G
Shovelled up like muck, and set the night on fire.

G G D F#m
Wombles bleed. Truncheons and Shields,

G A
You know I cherish you my love.

D F#m
But there's a rumour spread nasty disease around town,

Bm G G G G
Caught round the houses with your trousers down.

G G D F#m G A
A head rush, in the bush, you know I cherish you my love.

G A A A G# G
Oh, how I cherish you my love,

Gm
Tell me what can you want, now you've got it all.

D F#m Bm G
Ah the scene is obscene, time'll strip it away, a year and a day.

A
And Bill Bones, Bill Bones knows what I mean,

D F#m
He knows it's eating, it's chewing me up,

Bm G G G G G
And it's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood...

G D F#m G A
It's all, it's all in my hands, and it's all up the walls.

D F#m
All the stale chips are up, and they hope stakes are down,

Bm G G G G G
It's these ignorant faces, they bring this town down.

G D F#m
I sighed, and sunken with pride,

G A
I passed myself down on my knees,

G A A A G# G
Yes I passed myself down on my knees,

Gm D
Now tell me what can you want, see you've got it all.

F#m
The whole scene is obscene,

Bm G
Time will strip it away, a year and a day.

A
And Bill Bones, Bill Bones knows what I mean.

D F#m
He knows there's fewer more distressing sights,

Bm G G G
Then that of an English man in a baseball cap.

G G D F#m
Now we'll die in the class we were born,

G A
And that's a class of our own, my love.

G A
A class of our own, my love.

i love this song and really feel it is youth in a song. heady, drunk days of just messing about and being opinionated. I don't know quite why i get that impression- i think its the drawling way it is sung

No, Wombles are a particular type of anti-globalisation protester. They get their name from the home-made body armour they wear, which makes them look kind of bulky, a bit like the characters from the classic childrens' tv show The Wombles. Top notch song!

I've always felt this is The Libertines best song, and Pete's best poetry. It really is a wonderfully romantic, world weary trip around grimy old London that perfectly encapsulates the Libertines' vision. There are some really beautiful lines in there: 'Did you see the stylish kids in the riot?' is a fabulous opening line, and for me, definitely about the middle class kids who co-opt left-wing rallies. 'The stale chips are up and the hope stakes are down' is also a great image. There's so much dirt and filth and bad living going on. 'It's not right for young lungs to be coughing up blood' is a very potent image too.

"it's these ignorant faces that bring this town down" - one of my favorite lines. can be applied to any town
