The Alan Parsons Project - Closer to Heaven
Track #3, Gaudi, 1987
JonPebble's version shifted to better suit my vocal range
and added chord links so anyone can shift it to theirs
(transpose -7,+5 for Jon's original version)
[D]Rising and [C]fall[G]ing [C]lighter than [D]air[D]
[D]Silently [C]call[G]ing [C]no one is [D]there[D]
Oh, [G]bird that is [C]fly[Am]ing so [C]high and so [D]free[D]
[G]Closer to [C]hea[Am]ven than [D]you and [G]me [G]
[D]Voices of [C]stran[G]gers [C]keep me from [D]sleep[D]
[D]Guardian [C]an[G]gels watch [C]over the [D]deep[D]
A [G]ship that is [C]sai[Am]ling way [G]out to the [D]sea[D]
[G]Closer to [C]hea[Am]ven than [D]you and [G]me[G]
[Em]Visions of [Em]rain [Em]fall [Am]out of blue [Em]skies[Em]
[Em]Rivers of [D]tears [C]flow [C]out of dry [D]eyes[D]
[Em]Answer my [Em]ques[Em]tion [Am]tell me no [Em]lies[Em]
[Em]Is this the [D]real [C]world or a [C]fool's para[D]dise?[D]
[D]Wind that is [C]blo[G]wing so [C]wild and so [D]free[D]
[G]Closer to [C]hea[Am]ven than [D]you and [G]me[G]
[G]Closer to [C]hea[Am7]ven [D]longing to [Em]be [Em]
[G]Closer to [C]hea[Am]ven than [D]you and [G]me[G]
[Em]Visions of [Em]rain [Em]fall [Am]out of blue [Em]skies[Em]
[Em]Rivers of [D]tears [C]flow [C]out of dry [D]eyes[D]
[Em]Answer my [Em]ques[Em]tion [Am]tell me no [Em]lies[Em]
[Em]Is this the [D]real [C]world or a [C]fool's para[D]dise?[D]
[D]Love that lies [C]slee[G]ping [C]wakes in the [D]night[D]
[D]Secrets for [C]kee[G]ping that [C]won't see the [D]light [D]
I [G]look to the [C]fu[Am]ture and I [G]hope it will [D]be[D]
[G]Closer to [C]hea[Am]ven than [D]you and [G]me[G]
[G]Closer to [C]hea[Am7]ven [D]longing to [Em]be[Em]
[G]Closer to [C]hea[Am]ven than [D]you and [G]me[G]
