Download Sample of the One Vision Intro
This is a basic version of the chords I use for playing this song. I hope to place an mp3 file here soon of the intro and main guitar riff.
Intro (Strings) – Also used for the ‘I had a Dream’ section.
Bass : D D# D C D ( played fast ) : * held for 4 bars and then played again, this time held for 8 bars
before being played again.
Upon 3rd time playing the above bass line these chords come in.
(One bar of each chord played in the rythym| x x – x x x – x | where x is one quaver note and – is one quaver rest)
Chords :
D G/D D7 G/D A/D
D G/D D7 G/D G/D
Bb/D Dm9 Bb/D (add an E note into the chord also)
Guitar Chords The whole song is pretty much the same, in the key of D, using chords of D, A and G with C occasionally showing up.
The Main Guitar riff comes in here. Slide down (indicated by \ ) after playing each chord.
D A/C# D D G C C G C C A/C# D D A E---------5-----|---------3----|----------3----|-----5---------5- B--7-\----5---7-|-7-\-----3--5-|-5-\------3--5-|-5---5----7-7--5- G--7-\----6---7-|-7-\-----4--5-|-5-\------4--5-|-5---6----7-7--6- D--7-\----7---7-|-7-\-----5--5-|-5-\------5--5-|-5---7----7-7--7- A--5-\--------5-|-5-\--------3-|-3-\---------3-|-3--------5-5---- E---------------|--------------|---------------|-----------------
For the small guitar filler at 'I'm gonna tell you theres no black and no white' the chords are ...
C7sus4 C A D x xx x x x\ <- x being the ryhtym and \ is a slide indicator.
The Main Guitar riff above will do you until you get to the part 'One Flesh one bone...'
A D/A One flesh one bone one true religion A D/A One voice one hope one real decision C C7sus4 C (back to A type chord) wo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo give me one vision
Play bass notes : A A A# A# B B C C C# [D]...
Song goes quickly back to the main guitar riff above.
