UB40`s Higher Ground Bass Tab.

This song is quite hard to figure out as it`s always played on keys
(so it has effects!)I used a live version & the 1993'Promises And Lies'
version to get this(`bout 90% correct for the'Promises And Lies'version,
As for live it really don`t matter as i`ve heard & seen so many variations).

You can vary the C with a higher octave eg:
G|55-55-5-|  Instead of:G|--------|
D|-----5-5|             D|--------|
A|--------|             A|33-33-3-|
E|--------|             E|-----3-3|
