Hey everybody!

If you’re a fan of the band, welcome!
If you hate the band but want to play the song anyways, welcome I guess!
If you’re a member of the band, what are you doing here? You should probably know this
Also, hi, how’s it going.

This is an easy song in terms of chords.
There are three sections, and the chords are all pretty basic.

Rhythm is an entirely different thing.
However, I can’t really convey that sort of thing to you on paper or screen, so figure
out yourself (and have a good time doing it!).

I am a keyboard player so I might not tab things properly.
If something sounds crazy to you, gimme a shout on email (Or try and fix it yourself).

OK!

Ahhhahhahhhh ah Guitar slurp 1

Doves.. circled the sky
And light shone down
While we stood knee-deep in the stream

Chords.. rang out warm and clear
Sweet major chords
And they were ones and fours and fives

As we stood there, so straight and still
Our hair blowing softly
And our shirts and pants were all white
All linen and gleaming

Wind.. came out from the trees
A voice spoke out clear
It clearly spoke down from high above

“You.. are my chosen ones
Chosen to be
The way that you’ve already become”

Then the trees all groaned and they swayed
The wind roared, the earth shook
Then it all went quiet at once
The air cold and still

Then we all walked back up the trail
No one said a word
We got to the cabin and packed
We packed up our things

“You are my chosen ones
Chosen to be the way that you’ve already become
Yes, you’re chosen to be
Chosen to stay the way that you have been all along

Once rehearsal is done
Open the gates
Let heaven’s floodgates open wide
Now, rehearsal is done
Open the gates
Let heaven's floodgates open waaiaiaiiiaiiiiiiiii

Aahhhh ahhhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh
Aahhhh ahhhh ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh

Am and E will end it. Keep yelling as long as you like.

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.

Standard Tuning

I heard it sound from the valleys low
I heard it from mountaintops covered in snow
I heard it rise from the oceans deep
I heard it echo off canyon walls steep

What’d you hear?
A beautiful sound
How’d it sound?
It sounded like this

(Beautiful sound)

As it echoed in my ears
My face glistened damp with the sheen of my tears
As I drew near to your side
I knew it was useless to flee or to hide

There is a sound ringing out day and night
It fills up each shadow on earth with its light
I felt the sound fill my innards and limbs
I felt it watching me think from within

What’d it see?
Desire split in thirds
How’d it feel?
The strain was immense

These are the times that test all our bonds
Our mutual will is all twisted and stretched
But still the sound, the notes and the chords
Reside in our chests where they've been deeply etched

My soul and spirit are apart
My bones and my marrow, divided as well
And what the eye that sees me sees
Are pieces of body and fractions of self

Ah-Ah-Ahs

What’d you hear?
How’d it sound?
