------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So Close - Daryl Hall & John Oates from the album "Change of Season"(1990) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Ryan "Sambo" Mascarenhas Tuning: Standard This a wonderful Hall & Oates track co-written & co-produced by Jon Bon Jovi. Though the is keyboard based, it can be played well on an acoustic. I have tabbed this song based the origial track and not the unplugged version which appears on the same album. The can be barred or played normally too. So enjoy!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXTRA NOTES ? = x x 4 2 2 x Riff after verse 1 and choruses: -0-x-0-3-x-| -1-3-1-1-3-| -0-0-0-0-0-| -2-2-2-2-2-| -3-3-3-3-3-| -x-x-x-x-x-| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro: G - Am - F - G (4x) G-A-F Verse 1: C ? They met on the dance floor, in the old high school gym Bb F He fell like a rock, She kinda liked him Dm G Am And his heart beat like thunder, as they moved cross the floor F G Bb But when the music was over, she slipped out of his arms (Riff) And out the door Verse 2: C ? Yeah a man loves a woman, but he can't understand Bb F Why she's sad when she stares, at the ring on her hand Dm G Am Then she sits in some club, where the long shadows fall F C G Drops a coin in the jukebox, not the phone on the wall Chorus: G Am F G So close, Yet so far away G Am F G So close, Yet so far away F C G Am We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today F G We're so close, so close (Riff) Yet so far away Verse 2: C ? Some people think, if you really believe Bb F That's all you need, to solve all the mysteries Dm G Am Well I know someone, who just heads for the sun F G She says, "I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young" Chorus: G Am F G So close, Yet so far away G Am F G So close, Yet so far away F C G Am We believe in tomorrow, but we're stuck in today F G Baby we're so close, so close (Riff) So far away Verse 3: F There's a restless look in your eye tonight C There's a secret hurt in my heart F And the dream that pulls us together girl Bb Is a dream F That's gonna tear us, tear us apart Verse 4: G There's a restless look in your eye tonight D Are you looking for some / way / out / of / here G We gotta fight, to keep it together girl Em F#m G For the dream that keeps us Chorus: A Bm G A So close, Yet so far away A Bm G A So close, Yet so far away G D A Bm Now who would have thought girl, that we'd end up this way G A Livin' so close, so close So far away "The rest of it is A - Bm - G - A and fades till the end" ===============================================================================
