Closer chords by Peter Himmelman

Chords

Here's what I've come up with for Peter Himmelman's "Closer" off the album
"Flown this Acid World."  It is not perfect, but I think it sounds very close
to the recording. There is one line of lyrics which I am not sure of. I did not
include the lyrics at the end of the song which appear in the background.
