Title: Someday
Artist: The Strokes
Album: Is This It

Instrument: 6 String Guitar

Tabbed by: Sam (shdrums9@hotmail.com)
***Please note, this entire tab is sharp a half step, otherwise, it's correct***
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

I used to think this song was in A but in actual fact it's in A#, so i've basically
taken what I used on what i thought was the song and moved it up a half step. Also,
for the parts when Jules sings Someday,sometimes, or always as the D# to A# pattern,
strum the D# twice at the beginning and let it ring until the A# which you should
strum twice as well.
