Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - Closing my Eyes (Then Play On)
Written by Peter Green
The D chord in this song is like this (use your thumb for the bass E):
[E--2--]
[B--3--]
[G--2--]
[D-----]
[A-----]
[E--2--]
Intro - C, Am, C, Am
[Am] Now it's the same as before
[F] And I'm alone again[G][Am][Am][G][F]
[Am] With no sorrow for myself
[F] And I'm blaming no one else[G][Am][G][F]
[G] And closing my eyes
[G] And se[G]eing you s[G]tandi[D]ng th[Em]ere
First solo:
C, Am, C, Am
[Am] Now it's the same as before
[F] You've touched me with your love[G][Am][Am][G][F]
[Am] And though you're in my heart
[F] We're still a world apart[G][Am]
[Am] As now I'm back to the time
[Am] Where I would search for a dream
[G] But no use to try anymore as before
[Am] Someday I'll die, and maybe then I'll be with you
Second solo:
C, Am, C, Am,
[Am] So I'm closing my eyes
[F] To hear the people laugh[G][Am]
[Am] For they're all aglow
[F] Not knowing where to go[G][Am][G][D][G]
[G] But is it asking too much
[G] When the question is w[G]hat [D]to [Em]do
[G] With the life I'll have
[G] It seems I know nothing now
[G] Except my lo[G]ve f[D]or y[Em]ou[Em]
[Em] And the strength in my hands
[Em] To go on feeding your smile[Em]
A superb ballad from Peter Green. Let me know if you spot
any mistakes!
