This song is covered in suuuupaadave's [[Lesson a Week]] series. The lesson for "The Future Soon" is available as a [http://youtube.com/watch?v=3u2MeT-NHgM YouTube video].
+
For more info, see the guitar lesson I made for this song...

suuuupaadave's video covers various interesting observations not expressed in the chord chart below (such as strumming patterns, notes about particular chords, and so on) and is therefore highly recommended.

== Chords ==

The following chords were originally transcribed by forum member tristan and revised and reformatted by forum member Khavall.

While this set of chords has been looked over by Jonathan himself, it differs from suuuupaadave's ''Lesson a Week'' video for "The Future Soon" in one notable place. In the prechorus, suuuupaadave uses the chord progression "Bm-F#aug-Bm7-E", where the middle two chords are different from those in the transcription. (The prechorus in the first verse, for example, begins with the line, "And I'm alone during couple skate.")
