  Subject: Please replace my sloppy CRD!

  

       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.
