Gratisfaction Chords

   
Well, this may be a bit weird, but in fact, these are the chords for playing
"Gratisfaction" by The Strokes, took a while to guess 'em, but finally got a decent 
sound of the
song in a acoustic version, all of these were guessed by hearing the song and they're 
pretty accurate.

You get tired when the days are too long
        C               Em       Am
You get lonely when the days are gone


Solo: C - Em - Am, then you stay for a while following the rythm, and then go back doing
Am - G - C.
Basically you repeat this 'til solo ends, then at the end, strumming changes and the
next chord in that strumming is C.

         F                Em           Dm
C            G

           F     Dm   G    F  C

C      Bm   Am       G   Dm
We can only fight in the sand
        F              Dm       C   G
You get tired when the days are too long
        C               Em       Am
You get lonely when the days are gone

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



And that's it, remember to always try different strumming patterns so you can find one
according to your needings, wether you're gonna play this song at the same rythm or
slower, always try to find the right pattern.

(The arrangement of the chords in each paragraph is not exactly that one, I tried to do
my best to arrange them correctly, it's not perfect but you can fix them).
