          Close to the Edge     1. The Solid Time of Change

Word and Music by Jon Anderson and Steve Howe


This is a version I worked out from the sheet music.  Some parts could
not adapt to a single guitar, so I just fudged it.  



Key: D  12/8 time

        D               C6/9          Bm7              Am7
