?Higher Ways? by Steven Curtis Chapman
album: For the Sake of the Call
1990 Sparrow Song/Careers Music
Isaiah 55:8&9; Phillippians 4:6&7
tabbed By Billy Smith/ solachristus289@aol.com
I am re-tabbing this song because the one that Lisa originally
tabbed is way off! So I have the correct chords for this song.
I must give the credit to Dona Sherrill for figuring out some
of the strange chords in this song. So here is the correct version.
GEmD
1. If I could only fly I?d go up
GCG/B
and look down from the sky
Am7D
so I could see the bigger picture
GEmD
and lord if I could sit with you at your feet
GCG/BAm7D
for an hour or two, I?m sure I?d ask too many questions
CG/BAm7D/F
cause there?s so much going on down here,
G7susCmaj7
that I must confess I just don?t understand,
D
I don?t understand
G
But I have prayed and at your feet my whole life
BmCDEm
has been laid, so I won?t worry I won?t be afraid
CCmG
cause my soul is resting on your higher ways.
GBm
So let the road ahead become unclear,
CDEm
oh I am yours so what have I to fear
CCmG
If my soul is resting on your higher ways.
Ebmaj7Dm7G
Chorus: Your Higher ways teach me to trust you
Ebmaj7Dm7GAm7G/B
Your higher ways are not like mine
EmBm
Your higher ways are the ways of a father,
BbAmG
hiding his children in his love.
(hopefully you can figure out the rest because it is all the
same as the other verses)
2. So let it rain and if my eyes grow dim with tears
of pain, this hope I have will not be washed away,
cause my soul is resting on your higher ways
(does an instrumental and then repeats chorus)
3. someday I will fly and maybe then
you will take me aside and show me the bigger picture
but until I?m with you I?ll be here
with a heart that is true, and a soul thats resting on
your higher ways.
