------------- Closer To Love - Mat Kearney ------------- Tabbed by: Eric Email: eric3312@gmail.com *(9/23/09)* Video Tutorial Now Available: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ajjieRWTkI ------------- IMPORTANT NOTES: I have watched 2,004,556 videos of Mat Kearney playing this song. I have also seen him live, front row. I suggest you watch some videos of him playing it, and then compare what you see him playing to what is in this tab. Thank you! Studio Version: Mat will play some of the song with the piano, and the other parts with an acoustic guitar. The tuning for the studio version is STANDARD. Live Version: Mat will SOMETIMES play the live version of this song in STANDARD TUNING, and other times 1/2 STEP DOWN TUNING. Mat will sometimes even tune his guitar by ear and ask, "Good Enough?" So, if you play along with his acoustic performances, it might not sound exactly right. Here are some GREAT reference videos: Best Reference Video (he messes up at 1:05 though): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3US5dLlxis Others: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k2fu34gKNE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6bS5JHBOrw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DTfI6_WQaQ ------------- Tuning: Standard Chords Used in this Song: --------------------- | | | C (x32010) | | C/B (x20010) | | Am (x02210) | | G5 (3x0033) | | Fmaj7 (x33210) | | Gmaj6 (x55430) | | Dm7 (xx0211) | | | --------------------- Note: In the studio version, SOMETIMES you can hear Mat use this G chord: (x55433). For Example, listen to 1:51-1:52. (Right before he says "We're gonna get there soon") However, Mat just plays the Gmaj6 chord live and sometimes doesn't even hit the high E string at all. ------------- Verse 1:
C She got the call today, C/B One out of the gray
Am And when the smoke cleared, G5 It took her breath away
C She said she didn't believe, C/B It could happen to me
Am I guess we're all one pG5hone call from our kFmaj7nees
Gmaj6 We're gonna get there soon
C If every building falls, C/B And all the stars fade
Am We'll still be singing this song, The G5one they can't take aFmaj7way
I'm gonna get there Gmaj6soon, She's gonna be there tAmoo
Cryin' in her rG5oom, Prayin' Lord come thFmaj7rough
Gmaj6 We're gonna get there soon -------------
Chorus:
C Oh it's your light, Oh it's your way
Fmaj7 Pull me out of the dark, Just to shoulder the weight
Dm7 Cryin' out now, From so far away G5 You pull me closer to lFmaj7ooooooooooCooooooG5ooove Am
Closer to lFmaj7ooooooooooCooooooG5oove -------------
Verse 2:
C Meet me once again, C/B Down off Lake Michigan
Am Where we could feel the storm G5blowin' down with the wind
C And don't apologize, C/B For all the tears you've cried
Am You've been way too sG5trong now for all your life
Fmaj7 I'm gonna get there sGmaj6oon, You're gonna be there Amtoo
Cryin' in your rG5oom, Prayin' Lord come tFmaj7hrough
