String Cheese Incident - Close Your Eyes guitar tab
"Close Your Eyes"
Outside Inside
String Cheese Incident
tabbed by Matt VanHoosier(isuaeroguy@aol.com)
This song is easier understood with Capo 1, so that
the verse change has more of an D A E feeling to it,
but since it wasn't necessary i tabbed it out open.

Verse:
F
Spent his whole life to get where he is
Eb Bb F
Nothin's gonna bring him down
Father was a man who worked so hard
Eb Bb F
Never could be around
Mama always wanted the best for him
Eb Bb F
Mama said "Make me proud"
Too much too fast, too little too late
Ab
It all boils down to "can't get away"
Chorus:
Bb C Eb Bb
Close your eyes, look inside and see what you can find
Bb C Eb Bb
Open your mind and take the time to learn from the storm
Loves the kids, loves the wife
wonders if there's more
looks around and sees his friends
it's all been done before
Goes to church on the holidays
lookin' for somethin' to light his way
livin for then, not for now
wants to be free but doesn't know how
Chorus (x2)

Intro (x4)
Lost his way, is off the path
gotta keep movin he can't go back
Where he is; where he was
will never be the same
Freedom that he searches for
has no key, it's an open door
Love he needs and hopes to find
has been with him all the time
Chorus (x2)
