Back To Higher Ground by Briggs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back To Higher Ground - The Briggs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Brian Email: arng.edwards_b@yahoo.com Tuning: Standard. 2 guitars of course. Joey on rhythm. Jason on lead. I've seen them live 3 times this year and I had to get this figured out. This is my first tab so I'm glad I got it all right. The solo was in fact by ear and one of the first things I've figured out by ear. I'm pretty happy to have this song down. Enjoy.

rescued with no sign of deliverance That can't exist, it can't exist Hearts can grow so cold In the heat of the moment It freezes over like the devil's abode Don't look so troubled You're the salt of the earth now We can't regress, we can't regress Back to higher ground Reaching up, we won't back down Back to higher ground Reaching up, we won't back down Back, to higher ground Hope can dry up like the LA river But droughts never last forever A thirst for more is just human nature We can't regress, no we can't regress Socially conscious or self-consciously social Show my true colors like a waving flag Make up in strife for direction that I lack We can't regress, we can't regress Back to higher ground Reaching up, we won't back down Back to higher ground Reaching up, we won't back down Back, to higher ground Dancing on the grave To the sound of savage victory With the power we possess We can't regress, we can't regress Sing a song of freedom Pay homage to the fathers That paved the way for sonic liberty A note that rings so true in all of us We can't regress, we can't regress Back to higher ground Reaching up, we won't back down Back to higher ground Reaching up, we won't back
