While printing my CRD version of 'Higher Ground' by the Feelies that

is currently at the OLGA, I noticed that I reversed a chord sequence

throughout the song (the perils of cut 'n paste). The good (well,

better) version follows.

Higher Ground

(Glenn Mercer)

Recorded by The Feelies on "Only Life" 1988

G D Em (4x solo 8x with band, vocal enters on 8)

G D Em

On my way

G D Em

Head-ing down

G D Em

Time to find

G D Em

High - er Ground

G D Em

In your arms

G D Em

In my dreams

G D Em

With you there

G D Em

With you there

Chorus:

C G D

Be my light

C G D

By my side

C G D

With you there

C G D

Be my guide

Verse II:

On your way

Try to find

Higher gorund

For all time

On your way

Find a way

In the light

Hey, hey, hey

Chorus II (slightly different lyrics):

Be my light

By my side

With you there

Be my guide

Bridge:

Em (4x; let ring)

Guitar break through end of song:

Verse chords w/guitar solo until fatigued or batteries wear out in

Tube Screamer. End on Em.

This is one of the greatest jam songs since "Down by the River" and

the slower you play the lead, the better it sounds. Get that "woman

tone" and let the notes ring.
