This is just a really simple version of this excellent song. But it sounds good to me, so here you go.
Leaders of the Free World - Elbow Tabbed by Dave Anderson
Standard tuning - EADGBE
Intro - EmBAmC
(C) Em I'm sick of working for a living B I'm just ticking off the days till I die Am Oh, I miss you Louise, yeah... C And the sickest little pleasures keep me going in between pulling teeth
Em Oh periscope up B I've been looking for a ladder Am I need to see the commander in chief C And remind him what was passed onto me
Em Your mum don't sleep! B And the friends you keep! AmEm I didn't raise a thief! B I didn't raise a thief! Am But the leaders of the free world GB Are just little boys throwing stones Am And it's easy to ignore GB Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
(Solo - EmBAmC)
Em My thinking isn't driven B But the music always gives me a lift Am I'm so easy to please, yeah C But I think we dropped the baton like the 60's didn't happen, oh no!
Em Oh periscope up B Should be looking for a ladder Am I need to see the commander in chief C And remind him what was passed onto me
Em Your mum don't sleep! B And the friends you keep! AmEm I didn't raise a thief! B I didn't raise a thief!
Am But the leaders of the free world GB Are just little boys throwing stones Am And it's easy to ignore GB Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
Am But the leaders of the free world GB Are just little boys throwing stones Am And it's easy to ignore GB Till they're knocking on the door of your homes
EmB Passing the gun from father to feckless son AmC We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young EmB Passing the gun from father to feckless son AmC We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
