[Verse 1]
F C
He was born with his face in the dirt
Gm
Raised at the tip of a long curve
A#
In the desert of a northern wild
F C
He spoke of names, faces and trades
Gm
Ghosts from a life in the dead age
A#
A lost space, drowned by tide
[Bridge]
C A#
He looks at his dirty hand
Am Gm
Let my loved ones go,
C
I did it all for them
[Chorus]
Em C
The higher, higher, higher, higher
Am
We are climbing,
The further we're falling
Em C
Lier, lier
Am
You won't sleep no tighter
Em C
The higher, higher, higher, higher
Am
We are climbing,
Dm
The further we're falling down
E F*
What goes, it comes around
And I am the rawbone now
[Verse 2]
F C
From the mills to the docks and the mines
Gm
Echoes the voice of a hard time
A#
A young life, now be naught
F C
He tells a tale of a thirteen-year-old,
Gm
Skinny kid with a tough soul,
A#
A bad bone, firm and strong
[Bridge]
C A#
He looks at his dirty hand
Am Gm
Let my loved ones go,
C
I did it all for them
[Chorus]
Em C
The higher, higher, higher, higher
Am
We are climbing,
The further we're falling
Em C
Lier, lier
Am
You won't sleep no tighter
Em C
The higher, higher, higher, higher
Am
We are climbing,
Dm
The further we're falling down
E F
What goes, it comes around
A#
And I am the rawbone now
[Solo]

The higher, higher, higher, higher
Am
We are climbing,
The further we're falling

Lier, lier

You won't sleep no tighter

The higher, higher, higher, higher

We are climbing,

The further we're falling down

What goes, it comes around

And I am the rawbone now
