Someone Like Youv16

Another wonderful song from Adele

Played on Jools Holland 'Later' November 2010

prior to its release on the '21' album in 2011.

That Jools performance was accompanied by piano, but an arpeggiated acoustic

guitar works beautifully with the song too.

This song is best picked rather than strummed, just playing simple patterns on the basic

chords. I have added suggestions for the picking pattern at the bottom of the tab.

Intro

=====

Verse 1

=======

I heard that you're settled down

That you found a girl

And you're married now

I heard that your dreams came true

Guess she gave you things

I didn't give to you

Old friend why are you so shy

It ain't like you to hold back

Or hide from life

Bridge 1

========

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but

I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it

I'd hoped you'd see my face

And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over

Chorus 1

========

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me I beg I re-member you said

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts in-stead

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, yeah

Verse 2

=======

You'd know how time flies

Only yesterday

was the time of our lives

We were born and raised

In a summer haze

Bound by the surprise of our glory days

Bridge 2

========

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited but

I couldn't stay away I couldn't fight it

I'd hoped you'd see my face

And that you'd be reminded that for me it isn't over

Chorus 2

========

Never mind, I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me I beg I re-member you said

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts in-stead, yeah

Break

=====

Nothing compares no worries or cares

Regrets and mistakes their memories make

Who would have known how

Bitter-sweet this would taste

Chorus 3

========

Never mind I’ll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me I beg I re-member you said

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts in-stead

Chorus 4 / Outro

================

Never mind I’ll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me I beg I re-member you said

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts in-stead

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts in-stead

Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

Yeah Yeah

I hope the following will assist!

OK. The numbers on the strings should relate to which finger to use -

't' is thumb, 1,2,3 are 1st, 2nd, 3rd fingers respectively!

So the D chord (xx0232) picked like this

D-t-------t---------|t...... etc

The A chord (x02220) like this! nb finger '3' can be left out or played simultaneously with '2'!

A-t-----------t-------------|t....etc

...and so on for the other chords.

Luckily for us all, although Adele is magnificent, she plays guitar in a quite simple style!

I hope I've done it justice!
