And if you come around around again then I will take The Chain from off the door
 
 
NOTE* If singing the round with 3 parts, then play the chorus once though with one
add in
parts the second time through. The ending might seem abrupt, but that's cause it's sung
cappella
the sixth time though. Listen to the song to see how it goes.

It's actually "Soapy heels". Ingrid herself said it at a show in Boston. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fuda8-pryM Hope it helped! Awesome tab. Although I love the piano sound, the guitar arrangement sounds awesome!

thank you SO MUCH for that!! it's my favorite song right now and it sounds great on the guitar!!

I've seen it written "soapy heels" before. And it sounds like that is what she says. It wouldn't surprise me if it was indeed soapy heels. It seems very much like something she would write. Great tab, by the way.
