[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]

[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,
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# F
And I am the rawbone now
