The Strokes are an American rock band from New York City, New York, United States, formed in 1998. The band rose to fame in the early 2000s as a leading group in garage rock/post-punk revival. The band consists of Julian Casablancas (lead vocals), Nick Valensi (lead guitar), Albert Hammond, Jr. (rhythm guitar), Nikolai Fraiture (bass guitar) and Fabrizio Moretti (drums and percussion). 	  Upon the release of their debut album, Is This It, in 2001, the group was met with much critical acclaim, being hailed by some as the &quot;saviors of rock and roll.

Issus de familles aisées, le chanteur Julian Casablancas et le guitariste Albert Hammond Jr se rencontrent alors qu'ils sont élèves dans une pension en Suisse et se mettent à faire de la musique ensemble. C'est à New York, en 1998, qu'ils forment leur quintette de beaux gosses avec quelques copains et sont remarqués par le producteur Gordon Raphael, qui accouche de leur EP, The Modern Age, puis de leur premier album, le très remarqué Is This It.

Taken For A Fool

According to the Under Cover of Darkness Songfacts, Julian Casablancas admitted that Clarence Clemons' 1985 duet with Jackson Browne, You're A Friend Of Mine was an inspiration for this song. Said the singer: &quot;I weirdly like the bridge and the chorus of that Clarence Clemons song. So that was the vibe we were going for&quot; He then sheepishly added, &quot;I shouldn't confess to these things!&quot;

I remember when you came    You taught me how to sing

Now it seems so far away    You taught me how to sing

Verse 3

I will not go to sleep    I will train my eyes to see

And my mind is as blind as a branch on a tree

I don't even like it. I just lied to

Get to your apartment, now I'm staying
                             Bb
Stay just for a while                                       F

                                                          F
When they lied, I knew it was just stable children
                                 Bb
Trying hard not to realize I was sitting right behind them

C
Oh dear, can't you see? It's them it's not me
F
We're not enemies; We just disagree
C
If I was like them all pissed in this bar
F
He changes his mind, says I went too far
C
We all disagree                                F

Someday

G            Em    Am
Was an honest man
D
Asked me for the phone, tried to take control
      C
Oh, I don't see it that way
Am
I don't see it that way
G                 Em   Am
We shared some ideas
D
All obsessed with fame
D
Says we're all the same
      C
Oh, I don't see it that way
Am
I don't see it that way

G             Em  Am
Raised in Carolina, she said
D
I'm not like that
G        Em     Am
Trying to remind her
D
When we go back

  G
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
   B                             Am
I try but you see, it's hard to explain
   G
I say the right things, but act the wrong way
   B                             Am
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
   G                        
I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
        B                               Am
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
       G
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
B
"You're right it's true"


# The rest of the song is in the same pattern
# So those are just the chords of the songs.  Didn't figure out the actual notes in between.  If you know the song, you should be able to get it.  Sounds real cool on the uke.  For the strum pattern have fun with it.  But basically, if you know the song, you got this, and I hope this was helpful!

Soma is what they would take when
                  G
Hard times opened their eyes
              F
Saw pain in a new way
                  G
High stakes for a few names
               F
Racing against sun beams
               G
Losing against their dreams

In your eyes
G        F#
And I am 
G        F#
stop

and go

Stop

Let's go
G                      F
When I saw her for the first time
                  G
Lips moved as her eyes closed
                   F
Heard something in his voice
          G
"And I'll be there", he says
          F
Then he walks out
              G
Somhow he was trying just
            F
Too hard to be like them

G        F#
And I am

stop

and go
F        E
In your eyes,

Stop 
F        E
Oh, darling, let me go

F        E             G
Tried it once and they liked it,
              F#
Then tried to hide it
G                          F#
Says, "I've been doing this 25 years"
    F         E          F  E
But I'm not listening no more.
          G                  F#         G  F#
And these friends, they keep asking for more.

But that's it.

I said please don't slow me down
If I'm going too fast
You're in a strange part of our town...

Yeah, the night's not over
You're not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road,
The wait is over
I'm now taking over,
You're no longer laughing
I'm not drowning fast enough.

Now every time that I look at myself
"I thought I told you
this world is not for you"

The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair
"you sound so angry
just calm down, you found me"

I said please don't slow me down
If I'm going too fast
You're in a strange part of our town...

Yeah, the night's not over
You're not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road,
The wait is over
I'm now taking over,
You're no longer laughing
I'm not drowning fast enough.

Sorry I don't have the solo.
Enjoy!

#  1st verse
 

 Abm   Gb       Dbm         B
Oh dear, is it really all true?

 Abm   Gb                      Dbm         B  
Did they offend us and they want it to sound new? 
  
   Abm   Gb        Dbm         B
Top ten ideas for countdown shows... 

 Abm             Gb            Dbm         B
Whose culture is this and does anybody know? 

 Abm         Gb         Dbm         B
I wait and tell myself "life ain't chess," 

Abm              Gb                 B
But no one comes in and yes, you're alone... 

                   Dbm
You don't miss me, I know. 



#  2nd verse


 Abm      Gb      Dbm        B
Oh Tennessee, what did you write? 

 Abm      Gb      Dbm        B
I come together in the middle of the night.

 Abm       Gb              Dbm        B 
Oh that's an ending that I can't write, 'cause 

 Abm      Gb    Dbm       B
I've got you to let me down.

The end has no end the end has no end

He want it easy; he want it relaxed
Said I can do alot of things, but I can't do that
Two steps forward, then three steps back
It won't be easy

"Won't you take a walk outside?"
-Oh no.
"Can't you find some other guy?"
-Oh no.
"1 9 6 3 what's that sound?"

Threat Of Joy

Future Present Past

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier

Watch the drunks and the lovers appear

Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.

Suggestion: during the verses, it can sound pretty cool if you
get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background
