Waterloo To Anywhere 

Dirty Pretty Things were a band fronted by former member of The Libertines Carl Barât. The formation of the band was announced in September 2005, after The Libertines had split up in 2004 due to a falling out between Barât and Peter Doherty. Barât had done some work with Vertigo Records and had previously revealed that his new project was with the label. Didz Hammond announced he was leaving The Cooper Temple Clause to join the band alongside ex-Libertines drummer Gary Powell and guitarist Anthony Rossomando, who had filled in for Doherty following his departure from the Libertines.

F          A
I knew all along 
           Dm
That I was right at the start
Bb 
bout the seeds of the weeds
F 
That grew in your heart
F                 A
Self satisfaction for the factions 
Dm
Who formed to tear us apart
Bb 
Well I gave you the Midas touch m
A
Oh you turned round and scratched out my heart 

Dm A            Dm
Oh what did you expect?
Dm         A            Dm 
Oh tell me what did you expect?

But I was loathe to believe
          Bb      
There was nothing but spite 
Fury and lies 
       F
Of the words that you weave
F           A
An illusion to a conclusion
Dm 
And oh its oh so tawdry 
         Bb
When you put it to bed 
Kick it in the head
A 
Oh wont they just let it be

Bang Bang You're Dead

Verse 1
C#m		       G#7
The world seems out of touch now,
		   A
I don't get out so much,
		 E
I don't feel the same
         G#7
In these bones anymore
C#m		      G#7
My heels are all worn down
 	         A
My loyalties are torn
	              E
I'm finding different paths now
  G#7
I never saw before

Bridge
A                       F#m
And it hurts less every day
	          B
The paths lead me away
	G#
Lead me away from those

Chorus
C#m   A       E
Blood Thirsty Bastards
 	G#7      C#m     A
Making plans for no one
 E	G#m
But themselves
C#m 	A          E
In this world of disaster
  G#7       C#m      A
I just need someone
E       G#7
For myself

Verse Two
All the sycophants and vampires
Well I packed them off to hell
Oh I've been up for days now
I hope no one can tell
I do my bit oh yes
To cleanse my hands from lies
Im feeding up the zombies
Hatched from their own eyes

Bridge
And from these eyes
The weary eyes-cum shadows
Of a very different man

Chorus
Blood thirsty bastards making plans for no one
but their own
I got to be my own master
get away from these braggards, tricksters, foolish clones

   A	   E	    A		 E
Oh look at how they laugh at you now
F#m          E               F#m        E
What did you do to make this bad become true
A           E
For heavens sake
       A        E
such a silly mistake
D	G#7
You're a legend in your mind
D 	G#7
But a rumour in your room

Verse
They all followed me down here
To an alleys dirty end
Oh I had nothing to give them
I just thought they were my friends

Bridge
Doesnt matter now
I'm angry anyhow
So its the best way I can deal with

Chorus
Blood thirsty bastards
making plans for no one
But their kind
Only now do I see it
I know I don't need it, no
I pay them no mind
Blood thirsty bastards making plans for no one
But themselves
In this world of disaster
I just need someone
To myself

Blood Thirsty Bastards

		C		Am
I know that you're out there
	Dm		G
Born ready, but on the decline
		C		Am
To keep you from my thoughts
	Dm		G
When we first broke the line
	C		Am
Do you remember like I remember?
Dm
Lost pursuits of excellence
	G
The glory of the crowd
	C
Lives of imperialists
		Am
Leave me with aching wrists
	Dm
So no wonder you frown
		G
When you're two world wars down
F
So when the dark times come
		C
Well I will sing you a good time song
F
I'm pretending that it's ending
	C
But it kills me to act so strong
F
Just to gaze in your eyes
	G#	G
Makes all the difference to me.


C Am Dm G

Just be ready my angel
Be ready when I call
I've been re reading letters
They were moving warm but bitter
And I cried right through them all
Oooh ooooh
The days go so slow
Ooooh oooh
We'll never get to heaven with the artillery in tow

F C

So when the dark times come
It might warm your heart to know
That I went to the crossroads
But the devil never showed


F G# G
They can stick their war, I'm leaving now
Makes all the difference to me


Em 		Am
I'm hoping if you know where I am
Em		Am
Send your heart in a telegram
Em		Am
I'm praying that you know where I am


C Am Dm
Be upstairs ready my angel
Be ready when I call
And then my angel I'll be ready too
And I will catch you when you fall
Do you remember like I remember
All the dirty things you said?
Do you remember like I remember
Or was it all in my head?

F C
So when the dark times come
Well I will song you a good time song
I'm pretending that it's ending
But it kills me to act so strong

F G# G
To gaze in your eyes
Makes all the difference to me


So

C Am Dm G

Who's got the clap
Who's got the clap
Give yourself a clap now

Bang Bang, You're Dead

&quot;Bang Bang You're Dead&quot; is a song by the band Dirty Pretty Things. It was released as a single on April 24, 2006 and was the first to be released from the band's debut album Waterloo to Anywhere. It proved very successful, charting at #5 on the UK Singles Chart (see 2006 in British music). In 2006, it was used as the theme tune to the BBC series Sorted.  Early rumours about the song claimed it was about Pete Doherty, citing the lyrics; 'I gave you the midas touch, you turned round and scratched out my heart' as evidence.

Jaja, okay okay

Y no sabes bien qué sentir
       F            A#                      C
Es adorable, que jamás los humanitos cambiarán

Hey, honestamente te explicaré

El mar, el sol, el gas,

Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy

1) Almost heaven,   West Virginia,
2) All my mem'ries, gather round her, 

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

                      Em  
1) Life is old there, older than the trees, 
2) Dark and dusty,    painted on the sky, 

   D
1) younger than the mountains
2) misty taste of moonshine

   C			G
1) growin' like a breeze.
2) teardrop in my eye.

              G              D            Em        C
       Country roads, take me home, to the place I belong.

 	I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.
