So now I want to give some back. Hope you all like the song, I'm pretty sure this is correct. Please let me know that you recieved it so my future transmits aren't a waste of time. Thanks for the invaluable service you provide. Tim [ Part 2: "Attached Text" ] "Coming Up Close" by Aimee Mann. Her finest hour IMHO (transcribed by Tim JB Durham) Played with capo on fret IV. (Song is in G#). Transcribed as if fourth fret were the nut... There are three guitars going on this song, an acoustic 6-string, a pedal steel, and an electric 6-string well as a piano but if you are all by yourself..... Intro starts w/ upstroked E, then an E major scale run: e----0--2--4-------------------------------------------------------------4p2p0---0------------| a--------------0---------2----0----------------0----------------2-p-0-------------2-----------| d-------------------2-------------2-h-4-p-2------2-h-4-p-2----------------------2-------------| g------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1--------| b------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0--------| e------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0--------| E One night in Iowa, he and I in a borrowed car F#m went driving in the summer, promises in every star A out in the distance I could hear some people laughing F#m I felt my heart beat back a weekend's worth of sadness E There was a farmhouse that had long since been deserted F#m we stopped and carved our hearts into the wooden surface A we thought just for an instant we could see the future F#m we thought for once we knew what really was important C E A H Coming up close O A E R everything sounds like welcome home U A S Come home A E and oh, by the way F#m don't you know that I could make F#m A a dream that's barely half-awake come true A E I wanted to say - C#m but anything I could have said C#m A I felt somehow that you already knew Then it turns around like this: e------x----x----x----0-----------------------------------------------------| a------x----x----x----2-----------------------------------------------------| d------7----6----4----2-----------------------------------------------------| g------6----4----2----1-----------------------------------------------------| b------0----0----0----0-----------------------------------------------------| e------0----0----0----0-----------------------------------------------------| We got back in the car and listened to a Dylan tape we drove around the fields until it started getting late and I went back to my hotel room on the highway and he just got back in his car and drove away Coming up close everything sounds like welcome home Come home and oh, by the way don't you know that I could make a dream that's barely half-awake come true I wanted to say - but anything I could have said I found somehow that you already knew Coming up close everything sounds like welcome home Come home Coming up close everything sounds like welcome home Come home Come on home Please send comments and corrections to TJBD@ix.Netcom.com.
