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 🙂
