Okay basically there are 3 parts, one solo, a few brief rests here and there
but really
there is FEKK ALL to it. If you just learn these parts and put them in the
right places
that is all that is to it.

Okay that's it! it's very easy to play. i have noticed a distinct lack of Strokes tabs
anywhere so if u like 'em and play, then get tabbing ! hopefully i'll have more on the
way soon - cheers ! Crippy
