You can add this to your Kristen Hersh section.
I think the chords for "Close Your Eyes" are just Em and A up until when she
says "...stop you ruined all my memories...".
Intro: Em, A
Em A
You can`t make it
Em A
You can`t cry
Em A
You can`t make it home tonight
And it just carries on like that until "Stop you ruined all my memories..."
like I said.
I hope I have helped you in some way.

This song is for all those people who will see the lyrics sign and just
ignore it (mainly the guitarists}, because they just want the tabs, chords
or bass tabs and don't even bother going into lyrics. Well this lyrics one
is different.
I have'nt figured out all of it, just the 2 chords (which was easy}, but it
may help some people. I only know up to when she says "...stop you ruined
all my memeories..." as from there it is not the same chords. It is an easy
song to play. I hope I have encouraged you to go into the lyrics ones
because there might be a hidden surprise. Have fun!!!
Intro: Em, A {play twice}
Em A
You can't make it
Em A
You can't cry
Em A Em A
You can't make it home tonight
Em A
It's too far to walk
Em A
To your god damn van
Em A Em A
It's too hard to come by your hand
Drunk on nothing
Drunk all night
Mad at nothing, close your eyes
You could run on iron lungs
It would not keep you clean
Run on iron lungs
It would keep you sons of bitches clean
You think that they don't shatter you
You think that `til they go
You think that don't comfort you now...go home
You can walk in moolight
You can dance inside
You can dance in moonlight
Close your eyes
*******NOTE:Those chords I gave you will stop here as you will know if you
have heard the song. From here on I am lost in all the picking and I'm too
lazy to figure it out.**********
Stop...you ruined all my memories
You ruined all my memories
I wanna catch the falling babies
I'm falling into you
My hair's in your face
Eyes on your eyes
Hands on my back
I can't leave
A guy's asking questions about me
My hands are full of straw
I'm sliding really fast
My hands are full of snow
I don't understand puzzles
I can't breathe
Close your eyes
E-mail me at [email protected] if my words are wrong. I just played the
tape and wrote down what I think she said, so I'm not sure if I heard right.
The key I'm using is wrong too, but will sound right if you don't play along
with the cd\tape.
Mail me if you get any more Kristin Hersh tabs\chords besides the ones on
the OLGA!!!
Enjoy!!!

You think that `til they go
You think that they don't comfort you now, go home
You can walk in moonlight

Close your Eyes
>From here you stop Em, A and do this:
Riff 1 Riff 2
e----------|------0---| I only did the e and B string because you only use
those two
B--2h3-----|--2h3-----| in these riffs!!!
Riff 1
Stop you ruined all my memories
Riff 2
You ruined all my memories
(From here I'm not sure what to do)
I wanna catch the falling babies
I'm falling into you
My hair's in your face
Eyes on your eyes
Hands on my back, I can't leave
Here you do an Em, then slide the Em to the 4th fret and then slide it to
the 7th.
It's like this:
e---------|
B---------|
G---------|
D-2--4--7-| Do this before she sings "A guy's asking questions about me"
A-2--4--7-|
E---------|
A guy'a asking questions about me
My hands are full of straw
I'm sliding really fast
My hands are full of snow
I don't understand puzzles
I can't breathe
Close your Eyes (she sings "Close your Eyes" a few times but I won't write
it out)
Outro:
e-----0-----0----|
B-2h3---2h3----0-|
That's all I've figured out, so if any one has any more, please send it to me.
I'm not too sure if it's all right, but it sounds like it.
Mail me at: [email protected]
Also send me any other tabs/chords from her album Hips & Makers, besides the
ones already on the OLGA!!!
