SHERYL CROW - "The Book" Tablature
Official SHERYL CROW Tablature & Sheet Music »
Artist: Sheryl Crow
Song: The book
Tabbed by: Morij
----------------------------------------------------------
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 E Em E Em
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
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SHERYL CROW tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
