Subject: tom petty`s A HIGHER PLACE
Hello Everybody!:-) This is my second Stab at transcibing music, and I think
this one is great. Well, here is another stab at another great tune of Tom`s
Petty`s A HIGHER PLACE
first off, you only have to use 3 chords for the majority of the song. they
are:
E chord Asus2 Dsus2
E--0------ E--------- E---------
F--0------ F--------- F-----3---
D--1------ D--2------ D---1-----
B--2------ B--2------ B---------
G--2------ G--------- G---------
E--0------ E--------- E---------
(that`s the fret`s you have to hold, you play around with the fingering with
your liking:-)
here is how you would start off the begining on an acoustic guitar.
E Asus2 Dsus2 Asus2 E Asus2 Dsus2
that`s the beginning! I don`t have the cd on me right now, but if you know
the song, you probably know the rythym!!!!
Here Are the lyrics!
p.s. there are a few other chords, you probably know them though!
VERSE 1:
We Gotta get to a higher place and we gotta leave by night. Before that
river takes us down we gotta find somwhere that`s dry
We gotta run like we never run, or we`re gonna lose the light.
We Don`t get to a higher place and find somebody, can help
somebody, might be nobody no more
We gotta get to a higher place and i hope we all arrive together.
we gotta get to a higher place if we wanna survive the weather)
VERSE 2:
(Well, i fool myself and i don`t know why
I thought we could ride this out
I was up all night making up my mind
But now i got my doubts
I got my eye on the waterline
Trying to keep my sense of humor)
VERSE 3:
(I remember walking with her in town,
Her hair was in the wind
I gave her my best kiss
She gave it back again
When i add up what I`ve left behind
I don`t want to lose no more)
If you want the chord switches and lead, (which i have!), just E-mail me. If
you really want the leads, you would mail me, and tell me that you appreciate
my work right? anyway, any requests, (I like Live, (the group:-) Ac/dc and i
guess you could throw in Sringe Toting Pilots. any questions, comments, Death
Threats, questions about computers (Dos or GW-Basic, I am the Man!) just
email me!!
