I Close My Eyes (Song)

Strumming Patterns

Down-Down-Up Up-Down-Up

Intro

(C - Em - F - G)

Verse 1

(C - Em - F - G)

I close my eyes

so I won't cry

why won't it stop?

(C - Em - F - G)

I hold you close

I feel so lost,

still like in bed

Verse 2

(C - Em - F - G)

In rage, I run

shoot with my gun

*BANG ...!

(C - Em - F - G)

I kill the man

with my own hands

his chest is blown

Chorus

(C - Em - F - G)

What is the point?

Doesn't anything else matter?

(C - Em - F - G)

Wars are pointless,

bring upon only death

(C - Em - F - G)

Why can't we see?

We'll all become murderers

(C - Em - F - G)

Should we join hands

to stop this violent(ce?)

nonsense(?)

Verse 3

(C - Em - F - G)

I close my eyes,

as I realise

I've killed a man

(C - Em - F - G)

Cruelly murder

friend and father

he was to some

Verse 4

(C - Em - F - G)

Charging they are

flashing radars

towards my face

(C - Em - F - G)

I hear loud bangs

from guns and tanks

my skull is blown

Repeat Chorus x 2

(Fade the second one for outro)

*Note: Follow the (C - Em - F - G) pattern until you reach "BANG ... !", then strum G really hard and shout "Bang!" or play some gun's sound effect and pauses.
