     While printing my CRD version of 'Higher Ground' by the Feelies that
     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

     Verse II:


     Chorus II (slightly different lyrics):

     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.
