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.

Recorded by The Feelies on "Only Life" 1988

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.
