Subject: The Closer You Get
"The Closer You Get"
by James P. Pennington and Mark Gray
performed by ALABAMA
4/4 time
Chorus:
The Closer You Get,
the further I fall.
I'll be over the edge now
in no time at all.
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster
with no time to stall.
The Closer You Get,
the further I fall
verse 1:
The things that you say to me,|
the look on your face,
brings out the man in me.
Do I see a trace in your eyes of love?
(repeat chorus)
verse 2:
Could I be dreamin'?
Is this really real?
'Cause there's something magic,
the way that I feel in your arms tonight.
(repeat chorus)
---goes into the bridge---
the further I fall
Bridge:
keep fall-in', oh, yeah yeah, keep fall-in'.
mmm fall-in', oh, yeah yeah, I'm fall-in'.
Yes I'm fall-in'
(Yes I'm fallin')
(yes I'm fallin')
Yes I'm fall-in'
(Yes I'm fallin')
(yes I'm fallin')
Yes we're fall-in'
(yes we're fallin')
(yes we're fallin')
[repeat chorus, and fade]

I think electric guitar intro and chorus parts go like this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
----------5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
--5--5/3--5-5-5/7-7/9--9-9--9\7\5---------------------------------------------|
--5--5/3--3-3-3/5-5/7--7-7--7\5\3---------------------------------------------|
--3--3/1----------------------------------------------------------------------|
and hit these bar chords on their respective parts as well:
Bm Am D/C---same as D
---- ----|
---- ----|
---- ----|
-9-- --7-|
-9-- --7-|
-7-- --5-|
You can also hear another guitar doing an arpeggio with the minor chords when
they start with Em, Bm toward the verse/intro end.
Corrections welcomed!
