Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Artist ; The Strokes

Song Title ; The End Has No End

Album ; Room On fire


I think this song is in E flat tuning. The intro is - I'm 90% sure - correct, and the
tabs given here – of what I've seen - are for standard tuning where none of the intro
are correct. Therefore I'm guessing this one is.

Guitar 2 ; Albert Hammond Jr

KEY:

b = bend
/ = slide to (up or down)
