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.
