Automatic Stop Acoustic by The Strokes

Automatic Stop Acoustic tab by The Strokes

Intro

Hey guys, this is one of my favorite songs by the Strokes so it really surprised me to see a lack of
well thought-out chord sheets to play this song solo. Luckily, almost all of it is straight up power chord
structure stuff, so playing this should be fairly easy.
