[Intro/Chorus]
D                           Em
Don't you know I wish I was closer?
                C
I'd be watching over,
                  D
and if you're too small to see
                    Em
I'll lift you on my shoulders
          G                 C
If you're feeling low, I'll hold you
 
[Verse 1]
                        Em
I wanna be there in the morning,
       C                        G
So I'm working through the night
                         Em
And I'll be smiling into your name
            C                   G
When you're robbing those brown eyes
                             Em
And if you'll ever leave me, call me
        C                  G
I wanna make sure you're alright
           Bm       Am  Bm   C
I don't wanna be so far from home
                             Em
You know you're daddy little soldier,
         C                 G
and your mother's handsome knight
                          Em
No, don't you worry about darkness
              C            G
'Cause you're carrying the light!
          Bm                Am     Bm C
And those shadows fall when you're around!
 
[Chorus]
D                           Em
Don't you know I wish I was closer?
                C
I'd be watching over,
                  D
and if you're too small to see
                    Em
I'll lift you on my shoulders
          G                 C
If you're feeling low, I'll hold you
 
[Verse 2]
                                Em   C       G
I want you close to me like sun birds on the trees
                                  Em     C          G
'Cause when you're close to me my worries flee from me
                            Bm                   Am
'Cause when I'm with you my feet don't touch the ground
              G                            Bm                      Am
No, I'm not a king but when I'm with you I feel like I'm wearing a crown
          G               Bm
For you I sing, for you I sing
          Am    Bm   C
For you I sing
 
[Chorus] x2
D                           Em
Don't you know I wish I was closer?
                C
I'd be watching over,
                  D
and if you're too small to see
                    Em
I'll lift you on my shoulders
          G                 C
If you're feeling low, I'll hold you
 
[Outro]
D                           Em
Don't you know I wish I was closer?
                C
I'd be watching over

Thanks for this tab!! Wanted to play this for ages! On that last 'For you I sing' I think it goes Am Bm C? :)

Great job on this.. thanks for taking the time this has made me pretty happy. Any chance you ever figured out the finger picking pattern?

The song should be tuned half step down. Listen to the original version.
