The Closer You Get

Alabama
Tab
4.5(30)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

repeat chorus, and fade

C/D D/C

e|-0----      --2--|
B|-1----      --3--|
G|-0----      --2--|
D|-0----      --X--|
A|-X----      --3--|
E|-X----      --X--|

I think electric guitar intro and chorus parts go like this:

G F C D Em D C

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
D|--5--5/3--5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
A|--5--5/3--3-3-3/5-5/7--7-7--7\5\3---------------------------------------------|
E|--3--3/1----------------------------------------------------------------------|

and hit these bar chords on their respective parts as well:

Bm Am D/C---same as D

e|----  ----|
B|----  ----|
G|----  ----|
D|-9--  --7-|
A|-9--  --7-|
E|-7--  --5-|

You can also hear another guitar doing an arpeggio with the minor chords when

they start with Em, Bm toward the verse/intro end.

Corrections welcomed!
