The Nearness of You – Hoagy Carmichael


(E7) A E7 G/B Em7
It's not the pale moon that excites me,

A D Fdim Dm A F#7 Bm7/5- E7
That thrills and delights me, oh, no ?

Bm7/5- E7 A F#7 Bm7/5- E7
It's just the near - ness of you.


(E7) A E7 G/B Em7
It isn't your sweet conversation

A D Fdim Dm A F#7 Bm7/5- E7
That brings this sensation, oh, no ?

Bm7/5- E7 A D9 A
It's just the near - ness of you.


Bridge:

Fdim
When you're in my arms,

A A7
And I feel you so close to me,

D F#7 Bm7 G7 E7
All my wildest dreams come true.



(E7) A E7 G/B Em7
I need no soft lights to enchant me,

A D Fdim Dm A F#7 Bm7/5- E7
If you'll only grant me the right

Bm7/5- F# Bm
To hold you ever so tight,

Bm7/5- E7 E7/6
And to feel in the night

E7 Bm7/5- E7 A D Dm A
The near - ness of you.

Some nice versions of the song on this thread ...
Thought I would join the 'Old Fogies' on this one ...
This is what happens on a rainy day in RI ...
Donny, it's not a Bachata but I did use a Latin Bolero style for this one ...

Using a backing track I threw together today, recorded direct on the Pa900
BTW it's about 4 minutes long, not the 26+ that shows on BOX ...

Good jog. Really like that somg. The guitar in the Style sound great as did the Piano/Vibes solo . Nice way to get thru some miserable weather.

Nice work on the tune, guys...I especially liked Tony's Bolero version.

My rendition of The Nearness of You....recorded some time ago on the old PSR-S900 using a slightly edited factory Bossa Nova style...the S900's SA Sax still sounds pretty decent.

I'm enjoying everybody's rendition and am adding my version from 2005, I think, on my Tyros 1 at the time. Funny, I really like this tune but this is one of the very few times I ever played it.
