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 - Em B Am C

(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!

Am Em

I didn't raise a thief!

B

I didn't raise a thief!

Am

But the leaders of the free world

G B

Are just little boys throwing stones

Am

And it's easy to ignore

G B

Till they're knocking on the door of your homes

(Solo - Em B Am C)

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!

Am Em

I didn't raise a thief!

B

I didn't raise a thief!

Am

But the leaders of the free world

G B

Are just little boys throwing stones

Am

And it's easy to ignore

G B

Till they're knocking on the door of your homes

Am

But the leaders of the free world

G B

Are just little boys throwing stones

Am

And it's easy to ignore

G B

Till they're knocking on the door of your homes

Em B

Passing the gun from father to feckless son

Am C

We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young

Em B

Passing the gun from father to feckless son

Am C

We're climbing a landslide where only the good die young
