Chords:
'Higher Ground'Chords/Lyrics from UB40`s 1993'Promises And Lies'. This songs Intro/(Break Riff)is played on Keyboard alone, So i`ll place an optional Guitar structure if you want to use it?

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.
