[Bridge]
        Am
Oh, and my love

Did I mistake you

for a sign from God
Or are you really
 Em      Am
here to cut me off?
         C       Dm
Or maybe just to turn
      E
 me on
       Am
'Cause these days
           G
I would be lying if
   Dm
 I told you that
              Em
I didn't wish that
         Am
I could be your man
         C      Dm
Or maybe make a good
          E
 girl bad

Nothing to say and
            C
nowhere to go

The taste of the divine

How to play The Summoning: key, chords and progression

These are The Summoning chords by Sleep Token on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

The Summoning by Sleep Token is written in A minor (no sharps or flats) and moves through 8 chords: F, Em, Dm, Am, C, Bm, E and G.

Listen for Am – G – Dm – Em (i – VII – iv – v in A minor): the song comes back to it again and again. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: on guitar, F and Bm need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
