Chord Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder

_________________ / stevie wonder / / higher ground / / innervisions / /________________/ this song is one of the more simple stevie wonder - songs , like "i wish" and "superstition" . it is based around this 2 - bar main groove , part "a" , and it always returns to this starting point . "b" is also more or less just "a" modulated up two semi - tones . it’s hard to tell whether all the D#7 - chords are minor or major . most of the time they’re neither , hence the no3 , but the 3rd is often thrown in as a little spice , both minor and major .
