Song:The Book
Artist/s:Sheryl Crow
>From the Album:Sheryl Crow
Written by:Sheryl Crow & Jeff Trott
Tabbed By:Matt Kelly (Ali)
This tab is almost perfect (in my opinion). The only thing I'm not
sure of is the chords [C#*](a modified chord) & ?(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.

I read your book
And I find it strange
That I know that girl
That I know her world
little too well
And I didn't know
By giving my hand
That I would be written down,
sliced around, passed down
Among strangers hands
Three days in Rome
[C#*] ?
Where do we go
I'll always remember
Three days in Rome
Never again
Would I see your face
You carry a pen
and a paper and no time
And no words
You waste
You're a voyeur
The worst kind of thief
To take what happened to us
To Write down everything
that went on
Between you and me
[C#*]
Three days in Rome
?
And I'll stand alone
I'll always remember
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.)

And what do I get
Do I get revenge
While you let all out
Without any doubt
Of how this would end
Sometimes it goes
Sometimes we come
To learn by mistake
That the love you once made
Can't be undone
Oh but Three days in Rome
I laid my heart out
[C#*] ?
I laid my soul down alone
I'll always remember
Three days in Rome
