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.

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 
F        E
and go
F        E
In your eyes,
G        F#
see I am

Stop

G     G     G     G
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 
G        F#
stop 
F        E
and go
F        E
In your eyes,
G        F#
And I am 
G        F#
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!

Sending a letter waved with walls so sweet.
Ab

Waves turn to grey.
Ebm         Ab

A violent cloud.
    Ebm       Ab
And that's on USA.
Ebm             Ab
Running for the rights,
Ebm            Ab
Sleep into the sky.

A mountain I can climb.

CHORUS

Ebm          Ab
Waltz on the grey.
Ebm         Ab
Life in the shade.

Born on the rise.

Tell us, are you gonna tell us?

Why do we feel so jealous?

Why do we feel so silent?

Why is it always silent?

And when it turns to rust.
Ebm         Ab
Gossip is a truth.
         Ebm         Ab
A little bit for the lie you took.
    Ebm             Ab
And why do you look surprised?
     Ebm              Ab
Ever since I'm in the skies.

Taken For A Fool

VERSE 1
     C           Bm        Am             G        D
Oh b-baby, don't you be so mad because I barely remember
         G           Am                 Bm                 Em       C
And she tries to recognize me with the eyes she saw me with in December
     C           Bm        Am              G        D
And she's starting to realize that it's actually not a good thing
         G           Am                 Bm                 Em           C
And it's so tough because you're down to go out again and have another adventure
     C           Bm         Am            G          D
All her friends in the alleyway shout back, but she can't hear them

CHORUS 1
             C     Am   D  C   G
But you're never gonna get my love
 G      F#m  Em   D   Am
We can only blame the sun
 C            Am  G       D
Get up in the morning and run
              G               Bm               Em 
You'll be frustrated 'til the day that you're done

VERSE 2
      C            Bm                    Am      G             D
He got punched the mouth for sticking his nose in other people's business
           G            Am      Bm       Em       C
No good solution, always on the verge of some revolution
           C            Bm    Am             G              D
With tough luck it may take a thousand years but I think we can do it
             G               Am          Bm      Em            C
Best friends fight, but they never enjoy life as good as when they abuse it
           C               Bm    Am             G                 D
He said the soldier is a necessity, lied of all the failures of man

           C     Am   D    C    G
But you're never gonna get their love

We can only fight in the sand
        C              Am       G   D
You get tired when the days are too long
        G               Bm       Em
You get lonely when the days are gone

VERSE 3
         C                Bm           Am           G          D
He could never mention it out here and now without big tears in his eyes

CHORUS 3
           C     Am   D    C  G
And you're never gonna get my love
G      F#m   Em       D   Am
We can only fight in the sand
        C              Am       G   D
You get tired when the days are too long

Oh you're never gonna get this love
G      F#m   Em       D    Am
We can roll around in the dark
C              Am      G  D
That's about as far as we go
G             Bm          Em
Get up in the morning and run

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,

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:

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

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.

C#
There's a portrait

In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
