By The Carpenters. By Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Arranged by humusicworks. This edition: pdf. Pop. Score. 1 pages. HU Musicworks #1455052. Published by HU Musicworks (A0.1896593).
This arrangement is written for Low‑G ukulele and cannot be played correctly on High‑G. For the best tone and balance in solo playing, a concert or tenor ukulele is recommended.
This is a solo ukulele TAB arrangement of “(They Long to Be) Close to You,” composed by Burt Bacharach and famously performed by the Carpenters. This arrangement is based on the Carpenters’ version but is simplified for ease of playing, with no key changes and all phrases kept in low‑position fingerings. The melody is arranged in a clean and straightforward style, making it accessible for beginner to intermediate players. The piece is designed to be played entirely with the thumb, producing a warm and gentle tone that suits the soft character of the song. Because the arrangement avoids complex shifts and stays within a comfortable range, it is ideal for players who enjoy simple, melodic fingerstyle pieces inspired by classic Carpenters songs.
