By The Strokes
Guitar Tab
Tuning: Standard (From low to high: E A D G B E)

You can play this song using full bar chords, but you get a better Strokes sound if you
play root chords. This tab is for root chords, but it is open to the player’s
interpretation or preference.
If it would help you learn this song, watch me play it here:
