Prince - The Cross guitar tab

From: Jaska

"The Cross" by Prince (from the album, "Sign o' the Times")

Intro:

a------2-4-5---

e--4-5---------

E A E A

E A

Black day, stormy night

No love, no hope in sight

Don't cry, He is coming

Don't die without knowing The Cross

Ghettos 2 the left of us

Flowers 2 the right

There'll be bread 4 all of us

If we can just bear The Cross

Sweet song of salvation

A pregnant mother sings

She lives in starvation

Her children need all that she brings

We all have our problems

Some BIG, some are small

Soon all of our problems

Will be taken by the Cross

a------2-4--5--4--2--0-----

e--4-5------------------0--

(repeat entire)

Sounds good with just one acoustic guitar- play the first time through

fairly softly. On the second go 'round, hammer the chords, maybe

sing an octave higher and with PASSION! Of course, if you're

lucky enough to be in a real band, then you can do it right...

Song: The Cross

Artist: Prince

If you listen close and watch live performances, I believe the chords

are E and Asus2 (not A).

E Asus2

e--0--I--0--I

B--0--I--0--I

G--1--I--2--I

D--2--I--2--I

A--2--I--0--I

E--0--I--0--I

Just a small note but I think it makes a big difference in the sound.
