This song has strong JOC influence and that means it is in EABEBE tuning with a
capo on the third fret.? I only bothered to tab out the acoustic parts because the
Three Crosses electric guitar parts aren't that great.? I included hints to them
in the bottom if you really what to play them.? ALL TAB IS RELATIVE TO THE CAPO.**

Chords:? Em????? G???? C/B???? C????? Am????????????????????????????????????


Verse 1: Use main riff until noted
C
You wrote them off as fables
????????????????????????????????????? G
Just stories that you use to pass the time
C
But still there is something calling you
??????????????????????????????? Em*stop main riff
Begging you to read between the lines
Am???????? C/B??????? C??????????? G
Seeing the signs, the signs of his grace
Am????????? C/B??????????? C????????? G?
Now you're awakened by the Spirits of Grace


Chorus: Use main riff


The stone was rolled away 4x


Verse 2:


Watching now in judgement
You've heard the truth but rarely seen the light
But somehow when you look again you're seeing something deeper
A change that brings new life
Seeing the signs, trusting your faith
Now you're awakened by the Spirit's embrace


Chorus w/variations


solo: I didn't want to tab the whole thing but here's the formations you need to play it:
e----10---8----9--------------
b----8----8----8--------------
g-----------------------------
Just listen to it and use these formations.? It's a very common rock techique and is used by
Collective Soul and many others.? In fact, I redid "In My Life" (Beatles) in EABEBE and used the
same type of solo.


That's about it.? The song just goes on and on in a G? C? progression.? I don't care for Three
Crosses that much and the end of the song is their influence in the song.? In my humble opinion,
I think JOC should have kept the song for their own album.? Anyway, I hope this helps...
