Closer to Fine  Indigo Girls

This is from the Indigo Girls 1200 Curfews music book.
All chords are the way that Emily and Amy do it.
This is a good song to play solo because the two guitar parts are identical.
Donā??t worry, itā??s a LOT easier than it looks.
See end for fingerings...

Verse with Rhy. Fig. 1 (above):
[G]Iā??m tryin to tell you so[A7sus4]mething about my [Cadd9]life[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2]
[D]Maybe [G]give me insight be[A7sus4]tween black and whi[Cadd9]te[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2]
[D]And the [D11]best thing youā??ve ever done for [C]me
Is to help [D11]me take my life less serious[C]ly

Well [G]darkness has a h[A7sus4]unger thatā??s i[Cadd9]nsatiable[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2]
[D]And [G]lightness has a [A7sus4]call thatā??s hard to h[Cadd9]ear[Dsus4] [D]
[Dsus2] And [D]Iā??l[D11]l wrap my fear around me like a blan[C]ket
I [D11]sailed my ship of safety till I [C]sank it
And Iā??m crawling on your sho[G]re[C] [G]
Chorus:
[D]I went to the doctor, I [Cadd9]went to the moun[G]tains
I [D]looked to the children and I [Cadd9]drank from the foun[G]tains
Thereā??[D11]s more than one answer to thes[C]e questions
Pointing me in a [G]crooked line[C] [G]
D11 C N.C.
The less I seek my source for some definitive

Verse with Rhy. Fig 1:
I [G]went to see the doc[A7sus4]tor of philo[Cadd9]sophy[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2] [D]
With a [G]poster of Rasp[A7sus4]utin and a [Cadd9]beard down to his [Dsus4]knee[D] [Dsus2]
[D]And he [D11]never did marry or [C]see a b-grade movie
But he [D11]graded my performance and he [C]said he could see through me
I spent [G]four years prostrate [D]to the highe[Cadd9]r mind
I got my [D]paper and I was free[G] [C] [G]
(Chorus)

So I [G]stopped by the b[A7sus4]ar at three a.m[Cadd9].[Dsus4] [D] [Dsus2]

[D]And I [D11]woke up with a headache like my [C]head against a board
I was [D11]twice as cloudy as Iā??d been th[C]e night before
When I went in seeking cl[G]arity[C] [G]
Outro/Chorus:
(chorus)
Here we [D]go to the doctor we [Cadd9]go to the moun[G]tains
We [D]look to the children and we [Cadd9]drink from the foun[G]tains
Here we [D]go to the bible we [Cadd9]go through the workout
D G N.C. G
We read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout
Thereā??[D11]s more than one answer to thes[C]e questions
Pointing me in a crooked [G]line[C] [G]
D11 C N.C
The less I seek my source for some definitive
