			     Closer - Ne-Yo
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: standard

this is mostly my own work and experimentation with the song, im pretty sure its 100% 

  palm mute the entire intro
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-0-2-2-2-2--0-2-2-2-2--0-2-2-2-2--then------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

  main riff
e|---------------------------------|
B|-----7---8-7---8-7--8-7---8-7----|
G|---7---7-----7----7-----7-----7--| X2
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|-8-------------------------------|

e|---------------------------------|
B|-----7---8-7---8-7---8-7---8-7---|
G|---7---7-----7-----7-----7-----7-| X2
D|---------------------------------|
A|-7-------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|

these riffs are continually repeated one after the other untill the chorus,

e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9-11-12-12-12-12-12-11-14--9-11-12-12-12-12-12-12-11-7-4-12-11-7-4----|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|---------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------|
G|-12-11-7-4-12-11-7-4-12-11-------|
D|---------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------|

the chorus can be played on any string, as long as the notes are the same, an 
that sounds pretty awesome would be this,

e|-12-14--15--15--15--15--15--14--17--12-14--15--15--15--15--15--15--14--|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-9--11--12--12--12--12--12--11--14--9--11--12--12--12--12--12--12--11--|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|-10-7--15--14--10-7--15--14--10-7--15--14--10-7--15--14----|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-7--4--12--11--7--4--12--11--7--4--12--11--7--4--12--11----|
D|-----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------|
