Verse 1:
D A DThe moon and stars sit way up high,Earth and trees beneath them lie,
A DThe wind blows fragrant lullaby,To cool the night for you and i,
A DOn the wing the birds fly free,Leviathan tames angry sea,
A DThe flower waits for honeybee,Sunrise wakes new life in me.
Chorus 1:
D A DEvery hour of every day i`m learning more,
GThe more i learn the less i know about before,
CThe less i know the more i want to look around,
GDigging deep for clues on higher ground.
Verse 2:
D A DThe fishes swim while rivers run,Through fields to feast my eyes upon,
A DIntoxicated drinking from,The loving cup of burning sun,
A DIn dreams i`ll crave familiar taste,Of whispered rain on weary face,
A DOf kisses sweet and warm embrace,Another time another place.
Chorus 2:
D A DEvery hour of every day i`m learning more,
GThe more i learn the less i know about before,
CThe less i know the more i want to look around,
GDigging deep for clues on higher ground.
Saxophone Middle:D |A D |D |G |G |D |A D |D |G |G | Chorus 3:

Verse 3 & Chorus 4:(repeat Verse 1 & Chorus 1). Verse 4 & Chorus 5:(repeat Verse 2 & Chorus 2). NOTE:UB40`s'Higher Ground'is a song that makes perfect sense as a Song for Reggae Guitar! (they are a Reggae/DUB band?) Try strumming it and the A Chord makes it confusing, But play that Reggae feel staccato chop and it makes sense. Eg: in Verse||:D////|A//D//|D////|A//D//|D////:|| in Chorus|D////|A//D//|D////|G////|G////|C////|C////|G////|.
