Cm          Ab
From the cape to the hook
       Dm        Eb         Cm
With a carpet of leaves underfoot
           Cm             Ab
Through the lakes and the pines
      Dm           Eb       Cm
With my nose and my ears and eyes

[Chorus 1]
Cm                          Ab
And with the warm sun on my shoulders
Fm           Cm            Ab
And with the river rushing down
Cm          Bb           Fm  Ab  Cm
I'm walking on a path to higher ground
Fm          Ab                    Cm
Out of the trees and through the clouds

[Verse 2]
          Cm          Ab
Down the fence in the dusk
              Dm         Eb           Cm
Through the scree at the foot of the bluff
        Cm            Ab
And i drank from the brook
       Fm           Eb         G
And i slept in the lee of the wood

[Chorus 2]
Cm                            Ab
And in the house where i last held you
Fm          Cm              Ab
Our bed was cast adrift all night
Cm           Bb           Fm  Ab  Cm
And you were taking me to higher ground
Gm                        Fm
Out of my skin above the clouds

[Bridge]
Ab Eb Ab Cm Ab Fm Cm G

[Chorus 3]
Cm                     Ab
And in the canvas of a clear night
Fm        Cm                 Ab
A billion pins of flickering light
Cm               Bb          Cm    Gm
And i dreamed of rising up beside you
Ab         Gm           Fm
Among the galaxies and stars
Ab           Gm           Fm  Ab  Cm
And you were taking me to higher ground
Dm         Gm             Cm
Out of my skin above the clouds
