Bm              G             D             A
  Let's sing a song, full of hope, full of pain
     Bm              G                 D        A      Bm
Why don't you sing along my friend, for it's our last refrain?
Bm         G            D            A
  Forever young, ever strong, ever brave
  Bm                G              D          A     Bm
Memories like this never end, no, they don't fade away


[Chorus]
             Bm  G              D   A
So when I'm gone, oh, when I'm gone
         Bm            G                 D       A      Bm
I'll be right there, close to the sun (Close to the sun)
             Bm G           D   A
Keep holdin' on, keep holdin' on
             Bm            G              D A
And I'll be right there, close to the sun
N.C.
Close to the sun

[Verse 2]
Bm               G            D                 A
  Here's to the one, to let shine, through the rain
     Bm                 G                  D        A        Bm
The ones who stood for something more, we won't forget your names
Bm             G             D             A
  The tide is high, say goodbye or set it sail
    Bm                   G             D             A        Bm
And all those midnight secrets told, we'll take them to the graves


[Chorus]
             Bm  G              D   A
So when I'm gone, oh, when I'm gone
         Bm            G                 D       A      Bm
I'll be right there, close to the sun (Close to the sun)
             Bm G           D   A
Keep holdin' on, keep holdin' on
             Bm            G              D A
And I'll be right there, close to the sun
