This whole song hangs out on a E chord | | | | | | G# - A - B - E ...... B - G# A G# E |
Verse I: Just guitar and piano | | | | | | Chasing patterns in the sky... | Trace the line from star to star |
| | | | | | Look around and wonder why... | Where we going who we are |
| | | | | | Vernal flower, summer breeze... | Cricket wing and autumn leaves |
| | | | | | Fractal patterns, golden mean | Whispers of a world unseen. |
Chorus: Add in Cello/Bass | | | | | | Looking for a signal... hidden in the noise |
| | | | | | Where we come from, where we going? | Where we come from, where we going? |
| | | | | | Looking for an answer... to give the girls and boys, asking |
| | | | | | Where we come from, where we going? | Where we come from, where we going? |
| | | | | | Oh... | Where we come from, where we going? |
| | | | | | Oh... |
Verse 2 - Add drums | | | | | | Chasing patterns in the sky | Feeling lost, alone and small |
| | | | | | Birds depart and crickets die | Frost encroaching, winter falls |
| | | | | | Track the omens, year by year | Fit the pieces, best you can |
| | | | | | Tell a story they can hear | Something we can understand |
Chorus - More intense | | | | | | Looking for a signal... hidden in the noise |
| | | | | | Where we come from, where we going? | Where we come from, where we going? |
| | | | | | Looking for an answer... to give the girls and boys, asking |
| | | | | | Where we come from, where we going? | Where we come from, where we going? |
| | | | | | Oh... | Where we come from, where we going? |
| | | | | | Oh... |
Verse 3: Get much quieter, remove drums | | | | | | Chasing patterns in the sky | Seasons turn and stories change |
| | | | | | Weather vane and satellite | Rising tide and hurricane |
| | | | | | Spiral Arm and Golden Mean | Trace the line from star to star |
| | | | | | Seeking worlds yet unseen | Where we going, who we are? |
Repeat and fade out | | | | | | Where we going, who we are? |
