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):

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:

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
..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 frac[Em/B]ture has ended
But still the sound of[Em/B] 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 a[Em/B]s they broke, it was fearsome
That was until your ar[Em/B]ms 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
G D, D7, AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

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.
