#------------------------------------------------------------------------------###CLOSER TO FINE (Emily Saliers)------------------------------This song isn't too hard to play, but it sounds pretty impressive onceyou've got it down. I sort of learned to play the guitar on this song.I've written the chords down according to the way Amy & Emily play thesong, as best as I can figure out from watching TV and stuff. If you'renot quite up to playing D11's or four-fingered C's yet, you can play theD11's as D(9) or even D, and you can play the C's as x32010, but it won'tsound as good.I'd recommend learning the full C (332010) anyway if you don't alreadyknow it, because it's a nice chord to know; once you know it, slidingbetween it and D11 (554030) is really easy.On the full-measure C chords, hammer-on and pull-off with your middlefinger on the D string, so that the chord alternates between C and C(9).The song is actually in A, so capo at the 2nd fret.Here's the approximate tab for the introduction, and the part thatyou play through the first part of the verses (but when you actuallyplay it, it's hard to just hit the single note at the beginning of eachchord; usually you hit two or three strings):G G6/A C (9 fr.)
