tabbed By Billy Smith/ solachristus289@aol.com

I am re-tabbing this song because the one that Lisa originally

tabbed is way off! So I have the correct chords for this song.

I must give the credit to Dona Sherrill for figuring out some

of the strange chords in this song. So here is the correct version.

G Em D

1. If I could only fly I’d go up

G C G/B

and look down from the sky

Am7 D

so I could see the bigger picture

G Em D

and lord if I could sit with you at your feet

G C g/B Am7 D

for an hour or two, I’m sure I’d ask too many questions

C G/B am7 D/F

cause there’s so much going on down here,

G7sus Cmaj7

that I must confess I just don’t understand,

D

I don’t understand

G

But I have prayed and at your feet my whole life

Bm C D Em

has been laid, so I won’t worry I won’t be afraid

C Cm G

cause my soul is resting on your higher ways.

G Bm

So let the road ahead become unclear,

C D Em

oh I am yours so what have I to fear

C Cm G

If my soul is resting on your higher ways.

Ebmaj7 Dm7 G

Chorus: Your Higher ways teach me to trust you

Ebmaj7 Dm7 G Am7 G/B

Your higher ways are not like mine

Em Bm

Your higher ways are the ways of a father,

Bb Am D G

hiding his children in his love.

(hopefully you can figure out the rest because it is all the

same as the other verses)

2. So let it rain and if my eyes grow dim with tears

of pain, this hope I have will not be washed away,

cause my soul is resting on your higher ways

(does an instrumental and then repeats chorus)

3. someday I will fly and maybe then

you will take me aside and show me the bigger picture

but until I’m with you I’ll be here

with a heart that is true, and a soul thats resting on

your higher ways.
