Six Feet closer to you
by Robert Priest and Allen Booth
| Em7(4) / / / | D(9) / / / |
What kind of world will it be. Will you still smile and wave to me
| C6(9) / / / | Bm7 / / / |
when I pass you on the street, when I am where I long to be
| Am7 / / / | / / / / |
Six feet closer to you
| B7sus4 / / / | / / B7 / |
Six feet closer to you
| Em7(4) / / / | D(9) / / / |
what kind of questions will we ask. Will we still trance and multitask
| C6(9) / / / | Bm7 / / / |
Will we still rush round superfast when I at last take off my mask
| Am7 / / / | / / / / |
Six feet closer to you
| B7sus4 / / / | / / B7 / |
Six feet closer to you
| CM7(6) / / / | / / / / |
when we get back on that bus - shoulder to shoulder
| Bm7 / / / | / / / / |
we'll all be... a little older
| Am7 / / / | FM7(aug4) / / / |
but it will still.... it will still be up to
| B7sus4 / / / | / / B7 / |
us
| Em7(4) / / / | D(9) / / / |
What kind of songs will we sing. Will any-
| C6(9) / / / | Bm7 / / / |
one have learned a thing, what will the future bring when -
| Am7 / / / | / / / / |
I’m Six feet closer to you
| B7sus4 / / / | / / B7 / |
Six feet closer to you - you know I wanna be
| Am7 / / / | / / / / |
Six feet closer to you
| B7sus4 / / / | / / B7 / | Em7(4) . . . ||
Six feet closer.... Six feet closer to you

MARINA: Once, I could ride the storm. The ocean would rise up against me, the roar of thunder and challenge on the winds. Crashing through the crest, plowing into the trough, lightning flashes; a snapshot of my victory. Now my old bones creak at the slightest ripple.

MOONLIT JOURNEY: When was it? Was it within the warm glow of the campfire, or underneath the gentle luminescence of the moon and stars? By which light did I find myself?
