I've never much cared for this 1962 weeper from Mike Clifford, but I'm
including it at AAA anyway for historical reasons: the chord progression -
specifially the chromatically descending bass line over minor-6ths and
half-diminisheds - is an uncanny foreshadowing of the Beach Boys' 'God Only
Knows' from four years later.
"Close To Cathy"
(E. Shuman - B. Goodman)
Intro:
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 1:
I'm so close to Cathy
I know just what she's dreaming of
Am6/C E/B A#m7-5
She always calls me up to tell me
Every time she falls in love
Verse 2:
Oh, I'm so close to Cathy
I know her every tender sigh
She loves to cry upon my shoulder
Always for some other guy
Bridge:
Oh, why can't she see
The one true lasting love in her life
Should be me
Verse 3:
I'm so close to Cathy
As close as anyone can be
Am6/C E/B
And I'll stay close to Cathy
A#m7-5 Am6 G#m7 C#m7 F#m7 B7 E
Hoping someday she'll feel close to me
repeat verse 3
