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.
Tab/Chord interpretation by Craig Carlson
ccarlson@valsmtp.riag.com
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official FEELIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
