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. Guy Buttery From: [email protected] ------- Forwarded Message "Close your Eyes" by Kristin Hersh >From the album "Hips & Makers" Transcribed by Guy Buttery ________________________________________________________________________________ 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!!! Date: Fri, 5 Jul 1996 09:47:34 +0200 From: Guy Subject: CHORDS:Kristin Hersh. Close Your Eyes!!!
