Chord/Tab song: 3 Things

1,000 Things (live acoustic version)
Jason Mraz
Tabbed by: Josh Larrimore ([email protected])
Special thanks to Jon Blank for trying to tab this
song first...I just "corrected" (I hope) his
version.

TUNING: Standard EADGBe (no capo)

This is my very first tab attempt...I didn't think
anyone else got it quite right, so this is what
sounds right to me. I've been playing for about a
year now, but I have a very good ear, and I hope this
is right. Please let me know if anything sounds
off...remember that this is off the live acoustic
version.

CHORDS:

Jason starts by picking around a little with
the scat/intro chords, then pauses, waits for
the bongos and starts with the scat/intro

VERSE 1
[Cadd9]And I'm, I'm over-joyed
[G]And I'm, I'm over-loved
[Cadd9]And I'm feeling lucky, li[G]ke a little boy
[Cadd9]Who's hiding under cover
[G]And looking to discover

[Cadd9]Every way to play the p[G]art inside this darkened cave
[A5]The meaning of life, well it starts at the nightlight
[Cadd9]Close your eyes and I hope [D]you see mine

VERSE 2
[Cadd9]And I've, well I've seen a thousand things in one place
[D/B]But I stopped my counting when I [A5]saw your face
Erasing memory, well I [Cadd9]feel as though I've never seen a f[D]ace before
Until I saw your [Cadd9]eyes
And they're smiling back at me through my t[D/B]ears
I've been counting all these years, [A5]oh
Suddenly the thousand things I've [Cadd9]seen were nothing more than dreams [D]of

Of you and [G]me[Cadd9]
You and [G]me[Cadd9]
Quie[G]tly at a stan[Cadd9]dstill now
Fortuna[G]tely you wil[Cadd9]l, well you'll kiss me, I will

I will kiss you back

BRIDGE
Oh the fact of the [Cadd9]matter is - oo[G]o-lay

And I don't know wh[Cadd9]at the latter is, [G]oh no way
See, I've always wanted to [Cadd9]kiss you
But I, I always wanted to r[G]un from you
Because I've always wanted to [Cadd9]miss you
And I, I always wanted to com[G]fort you
OO[A5]oooo - Well I love my comfort foods, [Cadd9]you said
While you always say, H[D]ow do you do?
