Both Hands Tab

by Ani Difranco


I find that this is the simplist way to play this stella song by Ani Difranco. 
Listen to the song to figure out strum as its quite distinctive.


Intro:     x 2

                
I am walking out in the rain
                                         
And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
                  
And I am getting no where with you
                              
And I cant let it go and I cant get through

                        
The old woman behind the pink curtain
                         
And the closed door on the first floor
                                  
Shes listening through the airshaft 
                   
 To see how long our swan song can last


                           
And use both hands, Now use both hands
                      
Oh, no, dont close your eyes
            
I am writing graffiti on your body
                        
I am drawing the story of
                     
How hard we tried
                     
How hard we tried

                        
I am watching your chest rise and fall
                                
Like the tides of my life and the rest of it all
                       
And your bones have been my bedframe 
         
And your flesh has been my pillow
                            
Ive been waiting for sleep to offer up the deep
                 
With both hands  
                      
Ah-h-h-ah, Both Hands

                              
In each others shadows we grew less and less tall
                                  
And eventually our theories couldnt explain it all
                                
And Im recording our history now on the bedroom floor
                                       
And eventually the landlord will come and paint over it all


                    
And I am walking out in the rain
                                         
And I am listening to the low moan of the dial tone again
                  
And I am getting no where with you
                              
And I cant let it go and I cant get through

                    
Both hands, Now use both hands
                       
Oh, no, dont close your eyes
            
I am writing graffiti on your body
                         
I am drawing the story of
                     
How hard we tried
                     
How hard we tried
                     
How hard we tried
