You Can Close Your Eyes
D G D A
Well, the sun is surely sinking down
Em Bm A G, Em A7sus4
But the moon is slowly ris-ing
D G D A
So this old world must still be spinning 'round
Em Bm A D G D/E A D
And I still love you
G Em7 Ass4 A7
So close your eyes
C G Bm
You can close your eyes, it's all right
Em Ass4 A7
I don't know no love songs
C G Bm
And I can't sing the blues anymore
Em D/F# G
But I can sing this song
Em D/F# G A Bm
And you can sing this song when I'm gone
Em7 F#m7 G Em7 A7sus4 A
It won't be long before another day
We're gonna have a good time
And no one's gonna take that time away
You can stay as long as you like
[chorus]
Ending: D G A7sus4, D G Em7 A7 D.

A five-time Grammy Award winner, Taylor was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

first #1 hit the following year with "You've Got a Friend", a recording of Carole King's classic song.
His 1976 Greatest Hits album was certified Diamond and has sold 12 million US copies. Following his
1977 album, JT, he has retained a large audience over the decades. His commercial achievements declined
slightly until a big resurgence during the late 1990s and 2000s, when some of his best-selling and most-awarded
albums (includingHourglass, October Road and Covers) were released.
