'Higher Ground'Chords/Lyrics from UB40`s 1993'Promises And Lies'. This songs Intro/(Break Riff)is played on Keyboard alone, So i`ll place an optional Guitar structure if you want to use it? If not just play the Reggae Guitar! Optional Intro/Break Riff Chords:(a * will indicate the Riff,if used?) C=EADGBE G/B=EADGBE G=EADGBE x3201x x2000x 3200xx The Reggae Guitar Chords:(eg of Reggae Chords see below note!) D=EADGBE A=EADGBE G=EADGBE C=EADGBE x57775 577655 355433 x35553 Intro:*C G/B C G/B G G/B (D) Every hour of every day i`m learning more, The more i learn the less i know about before, (G) (C) The less i know the more i want to look around, *C G/B C G/B G G/B Digging deep for clues on higher ground. Verse 1: D A D The moon and stars sit way up high,Earth and trees beneath them lie, A D The wind blows fragrant lullaby,To cool the night for you and i, A D On the wing the birds fly free,Leviathan tames angry sea, A D The flower waits for honeybee,Sunrise wakes new life in me. Chorus 1: D A D Every hour of every day i`m learning more, G The more i learn the less i know about before, C The less i know the more i want to look around, G Digging deep for clues on higher ground. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/u/ub40/378214.html ] Verse 2: D A D The fishes swim while rivers run,Through fields to feast my eyes upon, A D Intoxicated drinking from,The loving cup of burning sun, A D In dreams i`ll crave familiar taste,Of whispered rain on weary face, A D Of kisses sweet and warm embrace,Another time another place. Chorus 2: D A D Every hour of every day i`m learning more, G The more i learn the less i know about before, C The less i know the more i want to look around, G Digging deep for clues on higher ground. Saxophone Middle:D |A D |D |G |G |D |A D |D |G |G | Chorus 3: D A D Every hour of every day i`m learning more, G The more i learn the less i know about before, C The less i know the more i want to look around *C G/B C G/B G G/B Digging deep for clues on higher ground. Verse 3 & Chorus 4:(repeat Verse 1 & Chorus 1). Verse 4 & Chorus 5:(repeat Verse 2 & Chorus 2). NOTE:UB40`s'Higher Ground'is a song that makes perfect sense as a Song for Reggae Guitar! (they are a Reggae/DUB band?) Try strumming it and the A Chord makes it confusing, But play that Reggae feel staccato chop and it makes sense. Eg: in Verse||:D////|A//D//|D////|A//D//|D////:|| in Chorus|D////|A//D//|D////|G////|G////|C////|C////|G////|. |
