Biography:
Mighty Oaks is the Berlin-based folk project of Claudio Donzelli, Ian Hooper, and Craig Saunders. The name is a byproduct of the group's affinity for nature, and their notion that the saying "mighty oaks from little acorns grow" is a reflection of their development together. The band has released four EPs since their formation in 2010: "Mighty Oaks" (2011), "Driftwood Seat" (2011), "Just One Day" (2012) and "Brother" (2014). Their first LP, "Howl", was released in early 2014 on Universal Records.

[VERSE]
F Am G
Tell a lie, play with fire, oh it's natural
F Am G
Down a sight, don't know why it's irrational
F Am G
You caught my eye, I passed her by, I couldn't let you go
F Am G
And all the while, it's out of sight, but we're keeping on
[PRE-CHORUS]
Em F Am G
And now I wish we could run away from here now and just go away
Em F Am G
'Cause all I see is fighting oh and lying and I just can't stay
[CHORUS]
Em F
And I take you to a higher place
Am G
Won't come down for the rest of my days
Em F
I take you to a higher place
Am G Em
Won't come down for the rest of my days
[VERSE]
F Am G
Try and try to do what's right, it's paradoxical
F Am G
To justify every lie, as though it's fashionable

Fire in line, it's just outside, it's all imaginable
F Am G
And all the ?, you look inside, so hypocritical
[CHORUS]

And I take you to a higher place

Won't come down for the rest of my days

Won't come down for the rest of my days
