Hey everybody, I guess you like Bodies of Water? Glad to hear it!
I think these guys are crazy and great (which is a wonderful combination in a band).
Here's a way to play I Guess I'll Forget The Sound, I Guess, I Guess, an epic song in
parts.
I am a piano player, not a guitar player, I must confess, but then who is?
As such, I try to avoid tablature cause it's not the water I swim in, but some parts I
resist trying to tab out.
I guess you could call me a tabby cat!
I've included all the "aah"s and "ba-da-da-bum"s because they are VITAL.
Feel free to delete all this when you're printing it out, I won't feel bad even if you
me and tell me that you did so.
Part 1:
Dear when I touch your face, aw-aw DOM DOM
[Em]I can no long[C]er hear, aw-aw [Em] [D]DOM D[Em]OM
[Em] [C] [Em] [D] [Em]
The sound of a million hearts
[Em]Beatin[C]g tog[D]ether as one D[Em]OM DOM
[Em] [C] [Em] [D] [Em]
And when the night is gone, aw-aw DOM DOM
[Em]And when the d[C]awn has come, a[Em]w-aw [D]DOM D[Em]OM
[Em] [C] [Em] [D] [Em]
I will take the daylight on
[Em]My c[C]heek[D]s will dry off [Em]in the sun DOM..
[Em] [C] [Em] [D]
Part 2:
Part 2 introduction, guitar part (same as the ba-ba part):
[Em] [D]
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------0--------2---2--------------------------------------------------| D|-----2-2-2---4-2--0---0----------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Part 2 introduction, bass part, tuned to Drop D tuning:
[Em] [D]
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------0-2-0--------------0------------------------------------------| D|-----2-2---5------5-2---0-0-4-5---5-4-0------------------------------------|
There is probably a way to play it in Standard tuning.
Beats me, though. Intro ends acapella.
..ba-ba-ba-BA, ba-da dum Dum dum Dum
[Em]..ba-ba-ba-BA, ba-da d[D]um Dum dum Dum
[Em] [D]
Ba ba ba ba, ba-da ba ba ba ba, ba-da ba ba ba ba, ba-da bum
[Em] [G] [D] [A]
(Although really, you should not be playing instruments at all by this part and it might
weird if you do.
Play at your own risk!
The song you once knew might be drastically different.
Try just singing the bass notes, the way the band does. Play with it)
Though my heart once was broke, it's been mended
And the stin[Em]g of the frac[Em/B]ture has ended[C]
But still th[Em]e sound of[Em/B] the hearts t[C]hat are breaking
[Em]And boots that are knocking p[C]ervades
[G] [D]
Before the day that I first touched your face
[Em]Oh, the roar of these th[C]ings filled my ears
Then I em[G]braced you and (made partly dea[D]f)
[Em]I could just hear our brea[C]th as we breathed
[G] [D]
Up 'til that day I could hear them
[Em]And the sound a[Em/B]s they broke[C], it was fearsome
That was un[Em]til your ar[Em/B]ms opened up w[C]ide
[Em]And the treasure therein w[C]as made mine
[G] [D]
There is a noise that is taking their place
[Em]In the hollow of my inner e[C]ar
It is far m[G]ore than the sum[D] of its parts
[Em]A white noise as warm as[C] the sun
G D, D7, AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
Part 3:
Now that I've found you dear
[C]Their plight has[G] lost immediacy
And now [D]that I've [Em]touched your face
The noi[C]se fades from[G] memory
[D] [Em]
I guess we'll forget the sound
[C]I guess, I guess[G]
My c[D]heeks wi[Em]ll dry off in
[C]The sun, the sun[G]
[D] [Em]
I guess we'll forget the sound
I g[C]uess, I guess[G]
[D] [Em]
And sing it forever.
