This is the first tab I have uploaded but not the first transcription I have done. I
this will give u a pretty accurate idea of how to play "lift me up." This is of coarse a
tune and every time I have accompanied someone singing this song I have played piano
than a guitar. Point being that a lot of the chords are not open chords on a guitar
inversions. For example the intro is C F C, the F is an a 1st inversion so the bass
is actually C. Another point that one should understand with this song is that it is very
If you are going to sing it I would maybe try it in A or Bb. It would make it a lot easier.
Intro:
This road is anything but simple
Twisted like a riddle I've seen high and I've seen low
So loud, the voices of all my doubts
Telling me to give up, to pack up and leave town
Even so, I had to believe
Impossible means nothing to me, yeah
So can you lift me up,
Turn the ashes into flames
‘Cause I have overcome
More than words will ever say
And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall
(7)
And that a day will come
When the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun
(eighth notes)
Somewhere, everybody starts there
I'm counting on a small prayer,
Lost in a nightmare
But I'm here, and suddenly it's so clear
The struggle through the long years
It taught me to outrun my fears
Everything worth having, oh
Comes with trials worth withstanding
(CHORUS)
Oh, lift me up
Oh, lift me up
Oh, lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
Oh, Lift me up
Down and out is overrated
And I need to be elevated
Looking up is not enough
No, I would rather rise above
(CHORUS)
VAMP A C OR THE CHROUS FOR AN OUT
