[Am]Let's sing a [F]song, full of [C]hope, full of [G]pain
Why [Am]don't you sing [F]along my friend, for [C]it's [G]our last [Am]refrain?
[Am]Forever [F]young, ever [C]strong, ever [G]brave
[Am]Memories like this [F]never end, no, [C]they don't [G]fade [Am]away
So when I'm [Am]gone, [F]oh, when I'm [C] [G]gone
I'll be [Am]right there, [F]close to the sun [C](Close to [G]the [Am]sun)
Keep holdin' [Am]on, [F]keep [C]holdin' [G]on
[Em]And I'll be [Am]right there, [F]close to the [C] [G]sun
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
[Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am]
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
[Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am]
[Am]Here's to the [F]one, to let [C]shine, through the [G]rain
The [Am]ones who stood for [F]something more, we [C]won't [G]forget your [Am]names
[Am]The tide is [F]high, say [C]goodbye, we're [G]settin' sail
And [Am]all those midnight [F]secrets told, [C]we'll take 'em [G]to the [Am]graves
So when I'm [Am]gone, [F]oh, when I'm [C] [G]gone
I'll be [Am]right there, [Dm]close to the sun [C](Close to [G]the [Am]sun)
Keep holdin' [Am]on, [F]keep [C]holdin' [G]on
And I'll be [Am]right there, [Dm]close to the [C] [G]sun
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
[Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am]
[Am] [F] [C] [G]
[Am] [F] [C] [G] [Am]
So when I'm [Am]gone, [F]oh, when I'm [C] [G]gone
I'll be [Am]right there, [F]close to the [C] [G]sun
Keep holdin' [Am]on, keep [F]holdin' [C] [G]on
And I'll be [Am]right there, [Dm]close to the [C]sun
[E7]Close to the [Am]sun
