I took the tab home last night and realised I'd made a few mistakes (*big* mistakes!) when typing it up late on Monday night. If anyone's tried to play the tab they've probably already noticed ;) So here's the corrected version.... sorry if I confused anyone...... Happy days Jared Closer To The Light - Bruce Cockburn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Transcribed by Jared White ([email protected]) 1995 Standard tuning, Capo 2 Slow: 4/4, MM=72 Notes: This songs has deceptively simple chords, but, as with many Cockburn tunes, it's not as easy as it first seems! Alternating bass, travis-style fingerpicking. Bracketed notes are optional. Full lyrics are at the end. Feedback appreciated. Enjoy! Key: 0** in measure 6 = 0h1p0 (trill) 3'** in measure 7 = 3(bend)p1p0 n = downstroke (strum) v = upstroke (strum) > = accent (downstrum) } = arpeggiate chord Intro: G Am 1 , . , . , . , . , . , . , .

Closer To The Light ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There you go Swimming deeper into mystery Here I remain Only seeing where you used to be Stared at the ceiling 'Til my ears filled up with tears Never got to know you And suddenly you're out of here Gone from mystery into mystery Gone from daylight into light Another step deeper Into darkness Closer to the light Walked outside Summer moon was nearly down Mist on the fields Holy stillness all around Death's no stranger No stranger than the life I've seen Still I cried Still I begged to get you back again Gone from mystery into mystery Gone from daylight into light Another step deeper Into darkness Closer to the light
