Love High - Mark Wilkinson
Capo: Fret 8
#################################################
This is the first tab I've submitted.
It's such a great song and I couldn't find the chords anywhere so I worked them out
and thought I may as well post them in case anyone else is looking.
Check his album out if you haven't; there are a bunch of great tunes on it.
He has an awesome tone to his voice.
He plays this song with a different capo placement and the fingerings he does are different.
This is just an easy way to play the same chords.

Capo on 8
For the intro and the verse picking parts while playing the C chord he does a walk
on the B string on frets 5, 3, 1 relative to capo.
This is quite important to getting the same sound, but for simplicity I will just
write C, Cadd9 and C.

(listen closely to this part to hear what I mean)
[Verse 1]:

To keep from l

[Verse 2] (same as Verse 1):
I guess I never really knew the fire I lit
Would keep on burning
I guess I never really knew the path I took
Was the only road I’d ever walk
[Bridge]
But oh, when t

Till I hear it

Softly calling

And sing it wi

[Verse 3] (same as other verses):
I guess I never really knew the words I wrote
Would keep me breathing
I guess I never really knew that darling
You’re the fire that burns inside my soul
Well you burn inside my soul
[Chorus]
So shout it out and say come on, come on
Lift it to the ceiling
And sing it with some feeling
Lift it from the water
So we can keep this love high
So we can keep this love dry
Yeah come on, come on
Lift it to the ceiling
And sing it with some feeling
Lift it from the water
So we can keep this love high
So we can keep

So we can keep
