From: Ali
Subject: CRD: The_Book.crd by Sheryl Crow
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 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
