THE UPPER ROAD

Lyrics by: Windy
Music by: Windy
Inspired by Streams in the Desert, January 2.

Capo: 1st Fret
Intro: (D)-(D/B)-(D/G)-(D/A)-(Dsus2/A)

Verse 1
(D)I'm traveling on the (G)upper (A)road,
For (Em)that still (Bm/F#)holds the (G)sun,
And I'm (D)climbing through the meadows
Where the (Em)starry (Bm/F#)rivers (G)run.(A)
If (D)you should want to (A/C#)see me
In (Em)my old (Bm/F#)dark ab(G)ode,
You'll find this (D)writing on the wall:
"She's (Em)on the up(Bm/F#)per (G)ro(Asus4)ad."(Asus2/C#)

Verse 2
(D)I used to sit and (G)sympa(A)thize
With the (Em)sorrows (Bm/F#)in my (G)life,
And I (D)waited for the hour
When my (Em)troubles (Bm/F#)would sub(G)side.(A)
But a (D)Voice called out, "Come (A/C#)up and see
The (Em)side you (Bm)cannot (G)view.
A(D)bove the clouds the (A/C#)sun is shining (G)bright
And skies are (A)blue."

Chorus 1
The upper (D)road, oh, (A)that's the road
(G)Where I want to (A)be,
I want to (G)scale the (D/F#)heights
Where (G)Heaven's leading (A)me.(A/G)
I'll say good(F#m7)bye to (Bm7)sadness now,
The (G)way to live I've (D)found;
Lord, lead me (Em)on (Bm/F#)and (G)on to higher (D)ground!

[Repeat Intro]

Verse 3
(D)I started traveling (G)right a(A)way,
It was the (Em)nighttime, (Bm/F#)cold and (G)bleak,
But the (D)mountain air was comforting
And (Em)dried my (Bm/F#)teary (G)cheeks.(A)
I (D)couldn't see a (A/C#)step ahead,
But (Bm7)angels kept my (G)feet,
And (D)with the sunrise came a (A/C#)song that set my
(G)Spirit (A)free!

Chorus 2
The upper (D)road, oh, (A)that's the road
(G)Where I want to (A)be,
I want to (G)scale the (D/F#)heights
Where (G)Heaven's leading (A)me.(A/G)
I'll say good(F#m7)bye to (Bm7)sadness now,
The (G)way to live I've (D)found;
Lord, lead me (Bm)on the upper (F#m7)road!

Chorus 3
Oh, (Bm7)that's the road (G)where I want to (A)be,
I want to (G)scale the (D/F#)heights where (G/E)Heaven's leading (A)me.(A/G)
I'll say good(F#m7)bye to (Bm7)sadness now,
The (G)way to live I've (D)found;
Lord, lead me (Em)on (Bm/F#)and (G)on to higher (D)ground!
