Artist — Feeder
Song — High (From album Polythene)
This song sounds great when played on an electric acoustic
while singing, although it does sound better with backup from
a distorted electric. ( especially during the chorus). The
actual version is played with your guitar tuned 1/4 up and
capo on 2nd fret, but cos i got a deep manly voice(hehe…),
i played it open.
Its a kind of a strange mix (fingering style) of oasis’ wonderwall
and nirvana’s teen spirit for the chorus…or is that just me?

CHORUS
Main Guitar
you can just repeat the verse for this, but i reckon it sounds
better using the major bar chords and some major distortion.
Ideally you want guitar 1 playin the verse riff and guitar 2
playing the bar chords, but hey im just one guy, and none of
my mates play guitar 🙁

Guess im stuck in a dream, surrounded by coloured leaves on the ground,
As I stare at the trees, I see one fall down on my hand
AS I start to explore, I can’t ignore a man
He turn his head around, his face was all warmed by the sun.
Chorus
I’m going out for a while, so I can get high with my friends
I will…
I’m going out for a while, so I can get high with my friends
Today…
Drifting down a road, losing my self in a dream
Feel my hands getting cold, sat in a boat on a lake
Chorus
Climing up, trying my best, as i sink…
Climbing up, trying my best as i sink again…
Lying back on the floor, reaching up high into space,
See myself in a glass, counting the lines on my face…
Again…
Counting the lines on my face…
Again…
Chorus x2
Today…today…today…today…today…
