Biography:
Josh Joplin Group was a Georgia-based pop music band led by singer-songwriter Josh Joplin. Joplin, a self-proclaimed "dork" who nonetheless dropped out of school in tenth grade to become a folk singer like his hero Phil Ochs, brought the group its trademark combination of introspective lyrics, folk-rock melodies, and lead vocals that, to many, sound identical to those of R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe (to the point that one Joplin song, "Happy at Last," begins, "I sound like Michael Stipe and I dream like Carl Jung").

CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
Dm C G Dm C G Dm
[Verse 1]
C G Dm
Gazing down on fields faraway
C G Dm
Staring out at all I see
C G Dm
Just returned from a war that's lost
C G Bb
The only foe I had was me
[Verse 2]
F C Bb
No retreat from the forces I fought
F C Bb
Believing I could only win
F C
And from grace to the ground I fall
G Dm
And I am human again
[Verse 3]
C G Dm
I saw myself untouched by hate
C G Dm
But I was much too numb to feel
C G Dm
And the angels that carried me away
C G Bb
Let me know that they weren't real (but I am)
[Verse 4]
F C Bb
And no matter how strong this vision was
F C Bb
It was not of who I am
F C
And from grace to the ground I fall
G
And I am human again
[Instrumental]
Dm C G Dm C G Dm
[Verse 5]
C G Dm
Hold me now until I sleep my love
C G Dm
Follow me down, follow me down
C G Dm
I will not be so scared anymore
C G Bb
As long as my feet don't leave the ground
[Verse 6]
F C Bb
And I'm staring down at fields far away
F C Bb
Surrounded by this dream I'm in
F C
And from grace to the ground I fall
G
And I am human again
[Outro]
