Signs
Ron Pope
I’m not sure if this is the exact way he plays it but it’s how I do it and I think it works: Tuning: DGCFAD (step and a half down from normal) The verses aren’t really played with chords it’s just a repeated high note with a moving bass line played like this. I want to write this out as chords though so I will refer to the timing of the changing bass note as follows (see below the tab): A--0--|-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0------ F-----|----------------------------------------------------- *Repeat back to the line* -----|----------------------------------------------------- D-----|----------0-----------4------------------------------ CHANGE NOTE: (D1) (D2) (G1) (G2) Hopefully this isn’t too confusing but I’m not sure how else to notate when to change. Honestly just listen to the song and it’ll probably help. Chords used: E: 022100 A: 002220 B: x24442 C#: x46654 #: 466444 [Intro:] (Start the riff above. Play to D1 then...) [Verse:] (D2) (G1) (G2) (D1) Our eyes are not the same color (D2) (G1) (G2) (D1) And our skin is a different shade (D2) (G1) (G2) And I don’t know why I mention this (D1) (D2) (G1) (G2) I am not sure what I’m trying to say [Chorus:] And we are all searching for signs Whether we look towards the sky Or curse behind our eyes and rationalize Whatever we divine Well I hope that you and I Realize that what we’ve found it could survive So if you reach out your hand I’ll give you mine [Pre-Verse:] (Start the riff above. Play to D1 then...) [Verse:] (D2) (G1) (G2) (D1) And the sky it is a deep crimson (D2) (G1) (G2) (D1) And the street it is alive again (D2) (G1) (G2) And on your face there is a new lesson (D1) (D2) (G1) (G2) One that I can’t pretend I’ve learned yet [Chorus:] And we are all searching for signs Whether we look towards the sky Or curse behind our eyes and rationalize Whatever we divine Well I hope that you and I Realize that what we’ve found it could survive So if you reach out your hand I’ll give you mine [Instrumental Chords:] [Pre-Verse:] (Start the riff above. Play to D1 then...) [Verse:] (D2) (G1) (G2) (D1) Now the rain has its own rhythm (D2) (G1) (G2) (D1) And we dance in a different time (D2) (G1) (G2) And I believe that there is some reason (D1) (D2) (G1) (G2) Why it’s me that you came to find [Chorus:] And we are all searching for signs Whether we look towards the sky Or curse behind our eyes and rationalize Whatever we divine Well I hope that you and I Realize that what we’ve found it could survive So if you reach out your hand I’ll give you mine [Outro:] Yeah when you reach out your hand I’ll give you mine
