Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
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.
so as always, hope you enjoy guys!

Chords by Cocodrílo.
[Verse 1]
F Em Dm C G
Oh b-baby, don't you be so mad because I barely remember
C Dm Em Am F
And she tries to recognize me with the eyes she saw me with in December
F Em Dm C G
And she's starting to realize that it's actually not a good thing
C Dm Em Am F
And it's so tough because you're down to go out again and have another adventure
F Em Dm C G
All her friends in the alleyway shout back, but she can't hear them
[Chorus]
F Dm G F C
But you're never gonna get my love
C Bm Am G Dm
We can only blame the sun
F Dm C G
Get up in the morning and run
C Em Bb Dm Am
You'll be frustrated 'til the day that you're done
[Verse 2]
F Em Dm C G
He got punched the mouth for sticking his nose in other people's business
C Dm Em Am F
No good solution, always on the verge of some revolution
F Em Dm C G
With tough luck it may take a thousand years but I think we can do it
C Dm Em Am F
Best friends fight, but they never enjoy life as good as when they abuse it
F Em Dm C G
He said the soldier is is a necessity, lied of all the failures of man
[Chorus]
F Dm G F C
But you're never gonna get their love
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 Bb Dm 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
He could never mention it out here and now without big tears in his eyes
[Chorus]
F Dm G F C
And you're never gonna get my love
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 Bb Dm 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 Bb Dm 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).
