Sign 'O' the Times — Prince

Chords and lyrics for Sign 'O' the Times by Prince (key of C).

Intro

Oh yeah

Verse 1

[Cm7]In France a skinny man
Died of a big disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle
[Cm7]And soon she did the same
At home there are seventeen-year-old boys
And their idea of fun
[Cm7]Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack, totin' a machine gun
Time, time

Verse 2

[Cm7]Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church
And killed everyone inside
You turn on the telly and every other story
[Cm7]Is tellin' you somebody died
Sister killed her baby 'cuz she couldn't afford to feed it
And we're sending people to the moon
[Cm7]In September my cousin tried reefer for the very first time
Now he's doing horse, it's June
Times, times

Chorus 1

[Fm7add11]It's silly no? When the rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't truly happy
[Gm7add11]Unless a man truly [Fm7add11]dies
Oh[Gm7add11] why?
[Cm7]Time ... Time

Verse 3

[Cm7]Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
[Cm7]Will anybody see the dawn
Time, times

Chorus 2

[Fm7add11]It's silly no? When the rocket ship explodes
And everybody still wants to fly
Some say a man ain't truly happy
[Gm7add11]Unless a man truly [Fm7add11]dies
Oh[Gm7add11] why?
[Cm7]Time, time

Outro

[Cm7]Sign o' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's too late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
[Cm7]We'll call him Nate... if it's a boy
Time, time
Time, time
