High Ground chords by The Whitlams

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA lot of people have talked about how they like this ong - and I'm one of
them. Well now, kids, you can play it yourself in the comfort of your own
home. All you need is a piano or guitar, and this chord chart. And with
some basic musical theory, you can play it on ANY instrument. Yay.

I only got the FoW CD this evening, so let me know what you think.

"High Ground" - The Whitlams (Freedman/Fink)

Transcribed by Dan Meijer

Great vocal harmonies! The electric-acoustic (NOT a miked acoustic) guitar
in the intro plays these voicings, though other voicings fit, I'll put the
ones Ben actually uses on the recording.In the bridge, the staccato
chording is done using barre chords up the neck.
