A
It takes a little shake up from the rift
D
It takes a bit of wind to get you to lift
E Bm A E
It takes sandstorms and signs from God
A
It takes a piece of grass floating on a breeze
D
It takes a plastic bag stuck up in a tree
E Bm A E
It takes cold fronts and sackcloth skies
C Bm E (repeat)
Oooh
A
It takes leviathans down in the abyss
D
The hidden messages of the things that you missed
E Bm A E
It takes mouthfuls of Niagara Falls
A
It takes a little shake up from the rift
D
It takes a bit of wind to get you to lift
E Bm A E
It takes sandstorms and signs from God
C Bm E (repeat)
Oooh
The little picked out riff thing goes like this:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------2---4---2--------------------------------------------------|
A|---0---2---4-------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Or: A, B, C#, E, F#, E
On the album version, I beleive that that riff is acoompanied by a back-up guitarist
it an octave higher:
e|----------0--2--0--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----0--2----------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---2---------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
