Melanie Safka - Close To It All (## NOTE: This is from the 1971 live London recording ##) INTRO: G D
                                   C     D
While walking through life I would never fall

   C          G           D       G
If I could be close to it all and all

   C          G           D
If I could be close to it all

D                           C        D
If I had my dream, it would not fall down

   C            G           D
If I could live high on the ground

    G        C         G           D     G
The sound of high is a good one to many around

          C        G           D
When they wanna be close to it all

      C        G           D       G
And I wanna be close to it all and all

  C        G           D
I wanna be close to it all____

They  try to escape from it all

      G           C            D      G
But instead, they build walls, that's all

         C        G           D
But they wanna be close to it all

                           C      D
If I had my dream, I would fill a hall

    C            G       D             G
And tell all the people, tear down the wall

     C               G       D          G
That keeps them from being a part of it all

            C         G           D
'Cause they gotta get close to it all

But instead, they build walls, that's all

         C        G           D
But they wanna be close to it all

                                 C       D
There's just one more thing that I wanna say

C            G         D           G
Everyone has got their own special way

     C               G           D            G
That keeps them from getting too close to the day

  C           G          D       G
Accept and be part of it all and all

C        G              D          G
Everyone tear down your own little wall

     C              G       D          G
That keeps you from being a part of it all

           C        G            D       G
'Cause you gotta be one with the one and all

    C        G              D          G
And everyone tear down your own little wall

     C              G       D          G
That keeps you from being a part of it all

           C        G            D       G
'Cause you gotta be one with the one and all

    C        G           D
You gotta be close to it all_____
