Chords for Keith Whitley-"Don't Close Your Eyes"-1988 (1st Performance of song on Opry)

Quickly, come on, please.
Thank [G] you very _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ much.
It's a real pleasure to be back at the Grand Ole Opry.
This is one of our favorite places to play.
We have a brand new [G] record coming out next week, and we're going to do it for you folks tonight.
I'd like to acknowledge some folks that you're with us tonight.
Ramon Alvarez, a very dear friend of mine, and also Melanie Greenwood.
And I want to do this for my mom, who's listening and watching in Sandy Hook, Kentucky, tonight.
And as I said, this is a brand new record.
We're real excited about it.
I think this will be the biggest record we've had, hopefully.
We're going to debut it on the Grand Ole Opry.
It's called Don't Close Your Eyes. _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I know you [C] loved him _ _ [D] _ a long [G] time [Bm] ago
_ [Em] Even now [Am] in my arms, _ [D] _ you still won't [G] hear my song
_ _ _ Darling, [C] this time _ [D] _ your _
[G] memory's dying
_ [Em] When you hold [Am] me tonight, _ _ [D] _ don't [G] close your _ [C] eyes
[G] _ _ Don't [C] close your eyes, let it [D] be me
Don't [G] pretend it's him [Bm] in some [Em] fantasy
_ Darling, [Am] just once, let [D] yesterday go
You'll [G] find more love [Bm] than you've [Em] ever known
Just [Am] hold me tight when you love me [D] tonight
And don't [C] close your _ [G] [Am] eyes
[G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ Maybe [C] I've been a fool
Holding [D] _ _ [G] on all this [Bm] time
_ [Em] _ Lying here [Am] in your arms
_ [D] _ Knowing he's [G] in your mind
_ _ But I keep hoping [C] someday
_ _ [D] _ _ You'll [G] see the [D] light
_ [Em] _ _ Let it [Am] be tonight
_ [D] _ _ Don't [G] close your [C] eyes
_ [G] _ _ Don't [C] close your eyes, let [D] it be me
Don't [G] pretend it's him [D] in some [Em] fantasy
Darling, [Am] just once, let [D] yesterday go
You'll [G] find more love than [D] you've [Em] ever known
Just [Am] hold me tight when you love [D] me tonight
Don't close your [C] _ [G] eyes
[Am] _ [G] _ Don't [C] close your eyes, let [D] it be me
Don't [G] pretend it's him [Bm] in some [Em] fantasy
_ [Am] Darling, just once, let [D] yesterday go
You'll find [G] more love [Bm] than you've [Em] ever known
Just [Am] hold me tight when you love me [D] tonight
And don't close [C] your [G] eyes
[Am] _ [G] _ _ Hold [Am] me tight when you love me [D] tonight
Don't [C] close your [G] _ [Am] eyes
[G] _ Thank you very much, [N] ladies and gentlemen.
