So Close Hall & Oates
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So Close - Daryl Hall & John Oates
from the album "Change of Season"(1990)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Ryan "Sambo" Mascarenhas
Tuning: Standard
This a wonderful Hall & Oates track co-written & co-produced by Jon Bon Jovi. Though the
is keyboard based, it can be played well on an acoustic. I have tabbed this song based
the origial track and not the unplugged version which appears on the same album. The
can be barred or played normally too. So enjoy!!

Intro:
G - Am - F - G (4x)
[Db] [-] [Ebm] [-] [B]
Verse 1:
C ?
They met on the dance floor, in the old high school gym
[E] He fell like a rock, She [B]kinda liked him
And his [Abm]heart beat like thunder, as they [Db]moved cross the [Ebm]floor
But when the [B]music was [Db]over, she slipped [E]out of his arms
(Riff)
And out the door
Verse 2:
C ?
Yeah a man loves a woman, but he can't understand
Why she's [E]sad when she stares, at the [B]ring on her hand
Then she [Abm]sits in some club, where the [Db]long shadows [Ebm]fall
Drops a [B]coin in the [F#]jukebox, not the [Db]phone on the wall
Chorus:
[Db]So [Ebm]close, Yet [B]so far a[Db]way
[Db]So [Ebm]close, Yet [B]so far a[Db]way
We be[B]lieve in tom[F#]orrow, maybe [Db]more than to[Ebm]day
We're [B]so close, so [Db]close
(Riff)
Yet so far away
Verse 2:
C ?
Some people think, if you really believe
[E] That's all you need, to s[B]olve all the mysteries
Well [Abm]I know someone, who just [Db]heads for the [Ebm]sun
She says, "[B]I don't wanna be wise, [Db]I just wanna stay young"
Chorus:
[Db]So [Ebm]close, Yet [B]so far a[Db]way
[Db]So [Ebm]close, Yet [B]so far a[Db]way
We be[B]lieve in tom[F#]orrow, but we're [Db]stuck in to[Ebm]day
Baby we're [B]so close, so [Db]close
(Riff)
So far away
Verse 3:
There's a [B]restless look in your eye tonight
There's a [F#]secret hurt in my heart
And the [B]dream that pulls us together girl
Is a [E]dream
That's gonna [B]tear us, tear us apart
Verse 4:
There's a [Db]restless look in your eye tonight
Are you [Ab]looking for some / way / out / of / here
We gotta [Db]fight, to keep it together girl
For the [Bbm]dream [Cm] that [Db]keeps us
Chorus:
[Eb]So [Fm]close, Yet [Db]so far a[Eb]way
[Eb]So [Fm]close, Yet [Db]so far a[Eb]way
Now [Db]who would have thought [Ab]girl, that we'd [Eb]end up this [Fm]way
Livin' [Db]so close, so [Eb]close
So far away
"The rest of it is A - Bm - G - A and fades till the end"
