Barnes Family - No Matter How High I Get chords
Start Jamming...
[Gb] [A] God bless you.
[D]
[A] I wanna take you back a few years to [Bm] a song that I love.
[A] When [D] I first started singing full time in gospel music,
some 20 years ago,
[A] there was a little [D] song that I borrowed
from Bobby Womack, wrote this song.
[A] Says, no matter how high I get,
[D]
I'll still be looking up to you.
I wanna make it clear [E] [A] who I'm singing about.
I'm talking [D] about Jesus.
Talking about Jesus.
I don't wanna get so high [Bm] that the Lord can't use [E] me.
I wanna be [A] where he can use me anytime and [D] anywhere.
I know there's nobody but the Lord
that got me where I am today.
That's why I sing this [A] song.
Just a verse.
[D]
Even though I've had many things to come my way,
[G]
oh yes, I've been blessed.
Yes, I have.
More than words could [A] ever say.
[D]
I know we all get tempted sometimes by material things.
But [G]
we gotta keep in mind just who is our true Lord and King.
[D] [Gbm] Lord, you stood by me.
[Bm]
Lord, we never even knew.
[Gbm]
[Bm]
[A] [D] And so [G] whenever [Gbm] I [Em]
go,
[D] there's one [G] [Gbm] thing you [Em] should know.
Here's what I want y'all to know.
No [A] matter [D] how high,
[Em] [D] no matter [G] how high I get,
I took a loan.
[C] I'm gonna still,
I'll still be [D] looking up to you. No [A] matter,
no matter [D] how [E] high,
no [G] matter how high I get,
I took [D] a loan.
[C] I'm gonna still,
I'll still be [D] looking up to you.
Here's my verse.
[A] Here's my [D] verse.
And even though my songs can be heard all over the [Gbm] world,
[G]
I've heard them sung by many men and women,
[A] boys and girls.
[D] You know what?
And even though it may seem like my singing career
is all going so well,
[Gbm] you know [Bm] what?
But I can't get above myself because
that's how [G] so many have lost out and failed.
[B] Oh, oh, oh, oh, [Gbm] oh, oh.
I will never, never, never,
[Bm]
where all of [B]
[Gbm] [Bm]
my,
all of my [A] health and come,
[D] has [Bm] to wear.
[Gb] [Bm] [Em]
Oh yeah.
[G] That's one thing [Gbm] I do.
I want you [G] to know.
[A] It's enough.
[D] No matter how [C] [G]
high I get,
I made God a promise.
I [C] taught him.
I'm gonna still,
[Gm] I'll still be [D] looking up to you. No [E] matter,
no matter [A] how high [Em] [D] I get,
[G]
I'm coming on.
[C] I'm gonna still,
[Gm] I'll still be [D] looking up to you.
One more time.
Wait a minute, hang on a [F] second.
No [Eb] matter how high [Fm] [Eb] [Ab]
I get,
no matter how high I get,
[Db]
I'm gonna [Abm] still,
I'll still be looking [Eb]
up to you. Looking [Ebm] up.
[Cm]
[Abm]
Looking up.
Gonna keep on looking up.
[Eb]
[Bbm] [Eb] [Cm]
[C] [F]
Looking up.
I wanna [Eb] keep right on.
I [Bb] wanna [Eb] keep right on.
Right on.
I [Cm] wanna keep right on.
Looking up to you Lord.
[Abm]
[Bbm] Looking [Abm] up [Eb] to you Lord.
