Someone Like You – Adele

Released in 2011, “Someone Like You” is one of Adele’s most popular and well-known tracks having topped charts worldwide.

Adele’s distinct style of singing makes transcribing her songs quite tricky. The notes below are my best guess and will be a great starting point to get you playing – hope you enjoy 🙂

 

^E ^C#
I heard…

B           A         ^E-^E      C#
That you’re settled down

B          A     ^E   ^E  C#

And you’re married now…

^E  ^C#-B  ^F#  ^E  ^E  ^E  ^E-D-^C#

I had hoped you’d see my face

B         B       A    B    A – B – A
