How Close They Must Be chords by Dolly Parton

C     G7          C
On a park bench one sunny afternoon

   G7               C
Sat a young boy and a girl about seventeen

            C7     F
As we stood so closely by watched them hold each other's hands

     G7                 C
On their faces love had written we're making plans


    F               C
Then he said to her you're my guiding light

     D7              G7
Then she said to him you make my whole world seem so bright

    C               F
Then we saw their books of Braille and that neither one could see

   G7             C
And I thought how close they must be


   G7              C
Such tenderness my eyes have never seen

     G7            C
Two young lovers both just in their teens

                 C7
Though their world gives them no light

     F
They see much more than you and me

     G7            C
Don't you know how close they must be


    F              C
Then a car stopped just a few steps away

   D7               G7
And a voice said Jim and Jeannie it's time to go

      C            C7
With their hands still clutched so tight

    F
Helping each other to the car

    G7             C
Can you imagine just how close they are

     G7            F C
