Hollies - Elevated Observations
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO:      G7  Dm7  
G7On top of a hill is a nice place to be at
Digging the country for Dm7miles around
G7Watching the people like ants on a hillside
Running aDm7round, running aroG7und
So far below me I see the confusion
Small-minded men with their small-minded Dm7wives
G7If they could see themselves, where I am standing
They'd Dm7alter their G7lives, Dm7alter their G7lives
CHORUS:
And I'm Cso high up, I touch the Gsky
And I'm Cso high up, I touch the Gsky
BRIDGE:
Climb up here, jump up here, Dmskip up or run up
GGet up here somehow, 'cause you'll find your head
Finally finding the level you're after
Ego is dead, Dmego is deGad
INSTRUMENTAL:  (variations on G)
CHORUS:
I'm Cso high up, I touch the Gsky
And I'm Cso high up, I touch the Gsky
Wish they'd start using the path of tomorrow
There's only way up and one way Dm7down
DeG7cide for yourself on the path you'll be taking
When you look Dm7down, G7down and aDm7round
CHORUS:       (## fade to end ##)
And I'm Cso high up, I touch the Gsky
And I'm Cso high up, I touch the Gsky
And I'm Cso high up, I touch the Absky
And I'm C#so high up, I touch the Absky
And I'm C#so high up, I touch the Absky
