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

I can no longer hear, aw-aw DOM DOM

The sound of a million hearts

Beating together as one DOM DOM

And when the night is gone, aw-aw DOM DOM

And when the dawn has come, aw-aw DOM DOM

I will take the daylight on

My cheeks will dry off in the sun DOM..

Part 2:

Part 2 introduction, guitar part (same as the ba-ba part):

Part 2 introduction, bass part, tuned to Drop D tuning:

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

..ba-ba-ba-BA, ba-da dum Dum dum Dum

Ba ba ba ba, ba-da ba ba ba ba, ba-da ba ba ba ba, ba-da bum

(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 sting of the fracture has ended

But still the sound of the hearts that are breaking

And boots that are knocking pervades

Before the day that I first touched your face

Oh, the roar of these things filled my ears

Then I embraced you and (made partly deaf)

I could just hear our breath as we breathed

Up 'til that day I could hear them

And the sound as they broke, it was fearsome

That was until your arms opened up wide

And the treasure therein was made mine

There is a noise that is taking their place

In the hollow of my inner ear

It is far more than the sum of its parts

A white noise as warm as the sun

Part 3:

Now that I've found you dear

Their plight has lost immediacy

And now that I've touched your face

The noise fades from memory

I guess we'll forget the sound

I guess, I guess

My cheeks will dry off in

The sun, the sun

I guess we'll forget the sound

I guess, I guess

And sing it forever.
