Three Rounds And A Sound

Text File

The chords that where out there for this song seemed okay, but the voicings didn't
match up with the little hammer-ons that are in the recording.  That bothered me, so I looked
live videos of them playing the song, and I found one where I could see exactly what he 
and here's what I figured out.

Capo 2 ( Note: Chords and finger positions shown here are in relation to the capo.  The
chord names are C#, Bbm, Ab7, and F#)

Just listen to the recording to get the strum pattern, and play the hammer-ons.

    B       Abm                 F#7                E
            w/hammer-ons      w/hammer-ons       w/hammer-ons

B
They're playing our song
Abm
They're playing our song
F#7
Can you see the lights?
E
Can you hear the hum?

B
Of our song
Abm
I hope they get it right
F#7
I hope we dance tonight
E
Before we, get it wrong

B
And the seasons
Will change us new
Abm
Be the best I've known
and you know me
F#7
I could not be stuck on you
E
If it were true

B  Abm  Bb7  E

B
I was swimming
My eyes were dark
        Abm
Til you woke me
And told me that opening
F#7
is just the start
E
it was

B
Now I see you, til kingdom come
Abm
You're the one I want
                             F#7              E
To see me for all the stupid shit I've done


(Chorus)
B
Soil and six feet under
Abm
Killed just like we were
F#7
Before you knew you'd know me
E
And you know me

B
Blooming up from the ground
Abm
3 Rounds and a sound
F#7
Like whispering you know me
E
And you know me


So this was our song
This was our song
I still see the lights
I can see them

And the criss cross
Of what is true, won't get to us
Cause you know me
I could not give up on you

And the fog of what is right
Won't cover us cause you know me
I could not give up a fight

Soil and six feet under
Killed just as we were
Before you knew you'd know me
and you know me

Blooming up from the ground
Three rounds an a sound
Whispering that you'd know me
and you know me


So I hope that's right, it sounds pretty decent to me, and it really looks like that's
he is playing in the video.  Enjoy!
