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.

Alternatively you can play this for the main riff if you want

[Verse]

Chord diagramF#F#           Chord diagramD#mD#m
So many fish there in the sea
Chord diagramA#mA#m           Chord diagramC#C#

Chord diagramF#F#                   Chord diagramD#mD#m
That's just a phase, it's got to pass
Chord diagramA#mA#m           Chord diagramC#C#

But personally I don't think it sounds as good as strumming the Chord diagramA#mA#m for two bars.
