Every hour of every day I'm learning more

The more I learn the less I know about before

Digging deep for clues on higher ground,

[Verse 1]
D A D
The moon and stars sit way up high,Earth and trees beneath them lie
A D
The wind blows fragrant lullaby to cool the night for you and I
A D
On the wing the birds fly free,Leviathan tames angry sea
A D
The flower waits for honeybee,Sunrise wakes new life in me,

[Chorus 1]
D A D
Every hour of every day I'm learning more
G
The more I learn the less I know about before
C
The less I know the more I want to look around
G
Digging deep for clues on higher ground.

[Verse 2]
D A D
The fishes swim while rivers run through fields to feast my eyes upon
A D
Intoxicated drinking from the loving cup of burning sun
A D
In dreams I'll crave familiar taste of whispered rain on weary face
A D
Of kisses sweet and warm embrace,Another time another place,

[Chorus 2]
D A D
Every hour of every day I'm learning more
G
The more I learn the less I know about before
C
The less I know the more I want to look around

Digging deep for clues on higher ground,

[NOTE]
UB40's 'Higher Ground' is a song that makes perfect sense as a song
for Reggae's Rhythm Guitar,Well UB40 they are a Reggae/DUB band!
Try strumming it and the A Chord makes it confusing?
but play that typical Reggae feel staccato chop and it makes sense
Like: D////|A//D//|D////|D////|A//D//|D/////| and: D////|A//D//|D////|G////|G////|C////|C////|G////|.


Comments,Corrections welcome,Otherwise please Enjoy!
