Signal In the Sky
guitar chords lyrics
CAPO ON 5TH FRET
(see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ttiuzAzDf0 )
C: x32010
F: xx3210 (I don't know the exact name but it's not your ordinary F major barre
chord. If you want, however, you can play it barred)
Dm: xx0231
G: 320003
In the first verse he is plucking the chords as follows:
C: x(3)xx(10)
F: xx(3)x(10)
First bracket is the bass note and the other two strings in the second bracket are
played at the same time. Just use your thumb for the bass note and your index and
middle finger for the b and e strings. Rhythm is quite easy if you listen to him
play it in the video.
Start by playing a short Intro on C
