CLOSE BY (B. Monroe - R. van Winkle)
performed by Patty Loveless
Key of Bb, capo 3
G D G
You've gone so far away my darling
C
Each time I think of you I cry
G
I'll press your picture to my bosom
G D G
Then I'll feel that you're close by
MANDOLIN SOLO
The years have passed you've not returned dear
Now they say that you have died
But your soul will live forever
Now I know you'll be close by
DOBRO SOLO
I saw you last while you were leaving
The tears from you I tried to hide
You took me in your arms and said dear
Your memory I keep close by
FIDDLE SOLO
They've buried you in a lonely graveyard
And a spot they've left beside
Now we'll sleep 'til Jesus calls us
So that we can be close by
