                   So Close - Daryl Hall & John Oates
                 from the album "Change of Season"(1990)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Ryan "Sambo" Mascarenhas

Tuning: Standard

This a wonderful Hall & Oates track co-written & co-produced by Jon Bon Jovi. Though the
is keyboard based, it can be played well on an acoustic. I have tabbed this song based
the origial track and not the unplugged version which appears on the same album. The 
can be barred or played normally too. So enjoy!!
