Artist: Creed Song: Higher Tabbed by: John Leadman
CHORDS: [Drop-D Tuning]
DADGBE DADGBE D5 (000xxx) D* (45xxxx) <-Don`t know the name of this one. A5 (7779xx) G2 (55xxxx) It`s some kind of D chord I think. G5 (5557xx) D2 (x57xxx) Dsus2 (000230) D5/C (x47xxx) D3 (00xxxx)
listen to the song to get the timing right.
/ = slide up h = hammer-on p = pull-off b = bend note r = release bend x = muted note
INTRO:
The first part of the intro is played on a clean electric guitar. If you`ve only heard it on the radio you`ve probably never heard that part, they usually skip right to where he plays it electric. When he starts playing with distortion he plays almost the same part again but not quite.
(Distortion starts here, this is where radio usually starts playing the song) E-------------------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------------------- G--7--7-9--9-9/11--11-9-11-11/12-11-9--9--9-11--11-11p9p7-9--9-11--9- D--0--0-0--0-0------0-0-0--0------0-0--7--7-7---7--7------7--7-7---7- A--0--0-0--0-0------0-0-0--0------0-0--7--7-7---7--7------7--7-7---7- D--0--0-0--0-0------0-0-0--0------0-0--7--7-7---7--7------7--7-7---7-
Although I would like our world to change It helps me to appreciate Those nights and those dreams But, my friend, I`d sacrifice all those nights If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same The only difference is To let love replace all our hate
PRE-CHORUS: [play like first pre-chorus]
So let`s go there Let`s make our escape Come on, let`s go there Let`s ask can we stay?
CHORUS: [Play like first Chorus]
Can you take me higher? To the place where blind men see Can you take me higher? To the place with golden streets
PRE-CHORUS: [play like first pre-chorus]
So let`s go there Let`s go there Come on, let`s go there Let`s ask can we stay?
There are two riffs you`ll have to use in the BRIDGE, we`ll call them RIFF 1 and RIFF 2!
D5 A2 G2 RIFF 1 Up high I feel like I`m alive for the very first time
D5 A2 G2 RIFF 2 Up high I`m strong enough to take these dreams and make them mine
