Higher Love chords by Steve Winwood

Chords with lyrics

Capo on three - song is played by an electric piano but sounds alright on acoustic.

The verse goes a bit weird for part of it, but it's mostly fairly simple.

This is the single version - it's synced with the music video version, not the version found on the album

Found this again after the phoenix that is Hannah Kirby did it on The Voice recently - she's amazing!

Parts in brackets are backing vocals

Introduction - no chords just percussion
