The Sign Ace of Base Ukulele Chords

“The Sign” by Ace of Base is a pop song released in 1993 that primarily talks about realizing self-worth and gaining clarity in a relationship. The lyrics describe someone who has been in a difficult or unfulfilling relationship and finally sees the “sign” or the realization that they deserve better and need to move on. The song conveys themes of empowerment, self-discovery, and breaking free from unhealthy situations. It expresses the feeling of awakening to a new perspective on life and love, acknowledging the need to let go of what’s not working in order to find something better. The catchy chorus emphasizes the moment of realization, symbolized by “seeing the sign” that points toward personal growth and freedom.

Ace of Base The Sign Chords in Chordpro format

For the turn in the intro, the chords are one beat G minor, one beat Eb major, one beat F major. Since this is too fast for most casual ukulele players, I just have the turn in the intro as Gm three beats, F one beat.
