----------------------------------------------------------------------------- COME A LITTLE CLOSER - Cage the Elephant ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: BittersweetDays Any Questions Please Ask! Tuning: Standard This is version of the song 'Come a Little Closer' song by Cage the Elephant! It is acoustic and it sounds right to me! For the actual video check out this video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AMAcrpceso and let's do this! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I believe (don't quote me on this) that this song is in the key of C#m so the chords are as follows... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT - these are just chords, and the chord progression. In the actual song, Lincoln Parish noodles around on the chords, it's a little complicated to read (it was complicated to type) but he holds the chord position, and plays it like so. If I write it with numbers from 1234 he would be doing 1324. (That was really difficult to explain with text) C#m G#m (4)e|--------4-----4-----4-----|--------4----4-----4----| (3)B|----5-----5-----5-----5---|----4-----4----4-----4--| (2)G|------6-----6-----6-----6-|------4-----4----4-----4| (1)D|--6-----------------------|--6---------------------| A|--------------------------|------------------------| E|--------------------------|------------------------| F#m C#m (4)e|--------2-----2-----2-----|--------4------------------| (3)B|----2-----2-----2-----2---|----5-----5----4~--2--4-2--| (2)G|------2-----2-----2-----2-|------6-----6--------------| (Repeat for (1)D|--4-----------------------|--6------------------------| Verses) A|--------------------------|---------------------------| E|--------------------------|---------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Strumming Pattern - |-d-du-udu-udu-udu-| Chords -
