Arthur Russell - Close My Eyes
transcribed by Ben Whitlock
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C G
I'll close my eyes and listen
G/F# Em C
to you, the corn come out.
Am Em C
Don't you hear the stars, they glisten,
G D C C/B C/A
as we go in and out.
G C G
Down where the trees grow together,
G/F# Em C
and the western path comes to an end
Am Em C
to see the sign it says 'clear weather',
G D C
I'll meet you tonight, my friend.
[Chorus]
G C
Will the corn be growing a little tonight,
G D
as I wait in the fields for you?
C D Em C
Who knows what grows in the morning light
G D G
when we can feel the watery dew?
[Verse 2]
G C G
I just can't be there with no other,
G/F# Em C
I know those hills will be true,
Am Em C
away from my sister and brother,
G D C
and down through the grasses so blue.
G C G
The air is sweet and steady
G/F# Em C
and flowers bloom out of sight,
Am Em C
I know the sky is ready,
G D C
come meet me down here tonight.
[Chorus]
G C
Will the corn be growing a little tonight,
G D
as I wait in the fields for you?
C D Em C
Who knows what grows in the morning light
G D G C G
when we can feel the watery dew?
