Song:The Book

Artist/s:Sheryl Crow

>From the Album:Sheryl Crow

Written by:Sheryl Crow & Jeff Trott

Tabbed By:Matt Kelly (Ali) <Email=mkelly1@edu.sd68.nanaimo.bc.ca>

This tab is almost perfect (in my opinion). The only thing I'm not

sure of is the chords C#*(a modified C# chord) & C#?(don't know the

real name for either chord). These chords don't sound quite right

but they are the closest I could come. I ask one thing though... I

you like it or don't or think I did a good job at it or have any

other comments PLEASE SEND THEM TO ME!!! This is my first tab and I

want to know how I did. Enjoy! :)

Capo on 1st Fret or no capo and play a half step lower than the

album.

E Em

I read your book

E Em

And I find it strange

G

That I know that girl

D

That I know her world

E Em

A little too well

E Em

And I didn't know

E Em

By giving my hand

G

That I would be written down,

D

sliced around, passed down

E E

Among strangers hands

G D

Three days in Rome

C#* C#?

Where do we go

G D

I'll always remember

E Em

Three days in Rome

E Em E Em

E Em

Never again

E Em

Would I see your face

G

You carry a pen

D

and a paper and no time

And no words

E Em

You waste

E Em

You're a voyeur

E Em

The worst kind of thief

G

To take what happened to us

D

To Write down everything

that went on

E E

Between you and me

G D C#*

Three days in Rome

C#?

And I'll stand alone

G D

I'll always remember

E Em

Three days in Rome

--Wurlitzer Solo--

(Not too sure what a Wurlitzer is but here's the solo tabbed for 6-

sting. Just put full bass on your amp and keep turnin' up the gain

until it sounds close to what's on the CD.)

E Em

And what do I get

E Em

Do I get revenge

G

While you let all out

D

Without any doubt

E Em

Of how this would end

E Em

Sometimes it goes

E Em

Sometimes we come

G

To learn by mistake

D

That the love you once made

E E

Can't be undone

G

Oh but Three days in Rome

D

I laid my heart out

C#* C#?

I laid my soul down alone

G D

I'll always remember

E

Three days in Rome
