"Someday"
The Strokes
 
Tabbed by Stoneman
3/4/09
 
A good song with great rhythm.
The Strokes always seem to have alot happening with Their guitars
doing seperate things in different rhythm.
which makes everything seem complicated.
but is very very easy.
so I've decided to tab them both
 
Note: All the 2nd guitar parts are 16th notes,
so strum down and up strokes fairly fast
 
 
Standard tuning

the rhythm it goes A Bm Bm A you can clearly hear it in that live version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKEP0qUGtwY don't think it's different on the studio and this: e|-5-7-9-7-9-7-7-5--------------------------------| B|-5-5-7-7-7-7-5-5--------------------------------| G|-6-6-7-7-7-7-6-6--------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------| has to be changed to: e|-5-7-5-7-9-7-7-5--------------------------------| B|-5-5-7-7-7-7-5-5--------------------------------| G|-6-6-7-7-7-7-6-6--------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------| otherwise fine nice someone finally put a rhythm guitar in his tab

+10

ok actually your right with the A Bm D A progression my bad sry

perfect EXCEPT: during the rhythm part of the chorus, the chord you listed as should be x
