Come Closer

[Angry Ewok]

Come Closer

I suggest you listen to the song to get the rhythm of the chords changes because they are a little tricky and the lyrics and the chords won't line up right on the website.  All of the chords are in bar chord form and are shown below.
A couple tips to add in once you've got the gist: Tap the body of the guitar to recreate the bass drum just before "just to send off with you".  Jim relies on the chord ringing rather than strumming like crazy, so figure out the right time to hit each chord and let them ring, especially during the "how long can you stay" build up.
