Here's what I've come up with for Peter Himmelman's "Closer" off the album
"Flown this Acid World."  It is not perfect, but I think it sounds very close
to the recording. There is one line of lyrics which I am not sure of. I did not
include the lyrics at the end of the song which appear in the background.

D Dsus2--H--Dsus4           H=Hammer on

D RIFF 2:

D Dsus2--H--Dsus4 --> This time stay on the Dsus4 until the Cadd9


VERSE 1:

I D went out in the street for a walk in the night.

Had to Cadd9 loosen my head, it's been wound too tight.

I've been G standing on the edge

After picking a fight with D you. D RIFF 1

SomeDtimes my world seems so damn small,

I Cadd9 can't think of nothin' 'cept for me at all.

And my G thoughts surround me like a prison wall its Cadd9 true.

CHORUS:

I D RIFF 2 wanna get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 wanna get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

VERSE 2:

ItD takes all my strength to slow myself down,

My Cadd9 thoughts are screaming, I can't hear a sound.

SomeGtimes I wish there was no one around but you. D RIFF 1

Oh D tell me you know what I'm talking about

SomeCadd9times you're the sail? of my confusion and doubt.

And then it G hurts so bad, you just wanna shout Cadd9 "I'm through."

CHORUS:

I D RIFF 2 wanna get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 gotta get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 wanna get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 wanna get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

BRIDGE:

Em Please excuse these things I might have Am said.

Em You see they come from my frustration, not my Am head.

G And the last thing C that I wanna Em do,

is G create a C distance,

Em between me and Am you. (Little bend on 8th fret of high E)

CHORUS:

I D RIFF 2 wanna get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 gotta get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 wanna get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 gotta get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

VERSE 3:

Well there seem D to be two states of mind,

Cadd9 One is visionary, the other blind

And the G best that we can hope to find,

Is to meet somewhere in D RIFF 1 between.

Well, the D night air has pulled me back a bit

Cadd9 Just when I was about to quit

G Trying to get a candle lit

That lets me Cadd9 see what can't be seen.

CHORUS:

I D RIFF 2 wanna get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 gotta get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 wanna get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 wanna get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 gotta get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 gotta get closer to you now. Cadd9 G

I D RIFF 2 wanna get closer to you now. Cadd9 G
