"Coming Up Close" by Aimee Mann. Her finest hour IMHO

                 (transcribed by Tim JB Durham)

Played with capo on fret IV. (Song is in G#). Transcribed as if fourth fret were the nut...
There are three guitars going on this song, an acoustic 6-string, a pedal steel, and an electric 6-string as well as a piano but if you are all by yourself.....

Intro starts w/ upstroked E, then an E major scale run:

e----0--2--4-------------------------------------------------------------4p2p0---0-------
a--------------0---------2----0----------------0----------------2-p-0-------------2-------
d-------------------2-------------2-h-4-p-2------2-h-4-p-2----------------------2------
g------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1-------
b------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0-------
e------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0-------

    and oh..
